Unlocking Voice on the Page
Writing Workshop with Jordan Rosenfeld
Jan 11, 2026
1:00 – 3:00 pm
Mill Valley Public Library
Creekside Room
Ideal for any writer who wants to polish prose and write vibrant characters and improve sentence level writing.
Your characters are sassy or stern, enthusiastic and effusive, and they’re waiting to leap off the page into readers’ minds. This confab unspools the essentials of voice, from character’s secrets and fears, their attitudes and personality, and teases apart the mysteries of syntax and sentence structure in ways that will not remind you of high school English class. You’ll come away from this confab with an overarching sense of what comprises voice and how to wield it more confidently in your own work. This class is for:
We’ll Cover:
- Essentials of character voice, like experience and attitude
- Essentials of tone, like imagery and mood pieces
- Key elements of syntax and sentence structure (not dull grammar!)
- And more….
