Finding Your Voice

Breakout_Session

Let’s face it, anyone with an Amazon account can publish a book. But what makes a writer stand out is their ability to be heard above the noise of millions of other writers clamoring for a reader’s attention. Sure, getting your message to the right audience through marketing is important. So is writing an excellent book. But if you sound like every other author out there, your story may never be heard.

What makes a writer stand out? It’s voice. A fabulously written novel aside, what differentiates you from other authors is how you tell your story through your unique voice. In this interactive session, you will learn the difference between a writer’s and a character’s voice. You will explore your unique life’s theme and the overall message you are meant to share with the world. Then through writing exercises, we will practice finding your voice so those destined to hear your message can find you.

About The Speaker

Gina Conroy

Growing up, Gina Conroy observed the world around her and didn’t feel it would welcome what she had to say. Standing silently on the sidelines, she watched others be self expressed and wished she had the courage to speak. When she discovered the comfort of the written word at a young age, that’s when she began to develop her voice. Later as she was published in nonfiction and fiction, she discovered the written word had the power to touch, stir, and reach from the depths of one soul to another. How could she keep that to herself? Since then, Gina has hosted writers conferences, presided over the local chapter of ACFW, and has even hosted a weekly podcast called Teen Writers Publish for teens of all ages. Although she’s lost count of her publishing credits over the decades, she hasn’t lost sight of why she continues to teach, speak, and coach: to inspire others to find their voice, be self-expressed and release the stories inside of them.
