    Episode 17: Helping Writers Find Their Narrative Voice

    In today’s episode of Let’s Write That Book, writer and book coach Patrick Johns explores one of the most overlooked—but most transformative—parts of the writing process: narrative voice. After working with clients who felt stuck, uncertain, or disconnected from their own stories, Patrick breaks down why voice is more than style—it’s the heartbeat of your book. From the subtle choices that shape tone and rhythm, to the emotional lens that brings characters to life, this episode dives into how writers can discover, strengthen, and trust their unique sound on the page. Correction: In this episode, I reference the narrator of The Lord of the Rings. To clarify, J.R.R. Tolkien is the narrator of the series, while Bilbo is credited with writing The Hobbit and Frodo and Sam are credited with writing The Lord of the Rings within the story world.
