It’s a thrill that bubbles inside you when you hear someone voice your novel – a professional voice artist who can characterise some 15 different characters, someone able to capture what you’ve only ever heard in your head. I can’t wait to share the talents of @katevoice.bsky.social this summer!

Writing fiction in first person for the first time feels oddly freeing, much more intimate, and has ultimately helped me to write faster. I’m enjoying how voice-y I can make my prose, giving it a sense of style so different to my third person novels. Which POV do you prefer?

I heavily plotted my first two novels because it gave me a sense of direction, but I’m giving pantsing a whirl this time around. It’s fun! But I’m only managing it because I understand plot structure. What a difference that has made in helping me turn ideas into stories. Which method do you prefer?

Hi! I’m Kate, an author of sapphic fiction with Black Mirror vibes, dark and twisty, and a dash of slow-burn obsession. Expect forbidden love, morally grey characters, and powerful older women who really shouldn’t fall for their pretty protégé... Your dose of oolala wlw.
