Sample text

Any good and dedicated author will eventually, by way of accident or design, acquire a voice, a literary style that is unique to him or her, and by which that author can be readily identified by their current flock of readers.

For instance, after reading one Raymond Chandler book, realizing that his was a voice unique to him—a voice that I found refreshing and appealing—I didn’t bother to read the blurbs or reviews of his books anymore, but bought them on spec, partly knowing what I was in for based solely on the author’s voice.

We need to see people lose heart, and successful people fail; on the other hand, we need to see failures succeed. In other words, we want familiarity; things that we as human beings living in a real world can identify with, even though we’re looking for escapism. And the best way to deliver that familiarity is to take dynamic and essential elements from a preexisting tale (or tales) and repackage them.
