Voices

by Jennifer Levasseur
and Kevin Rabelais

Novel Voices includes in-depth interviews with some of today's most talented writers, including Charles Baxter, Andre Dubus, Richard Ford, Ernest Gaines, Tim Gautreaux, Valerie Martin, Charles Johnson, Ha Jin, Elizabeth McCracken and Ann Patchett.

This book contains valuable advice on various elements of the writing process, from deciding on the best form for a piece of fiction to creating effective and realistic dialogue, but it is certainly not for writers alone. Those readers who have treasured literary gems like Bel Canto and Lesson Before Dying will be delighted by the authors' accounts of their craftsmanship.

Praise for Novel Voices

"Their [Rabalais and Levasseur's] choices are admirable. The interviews insightful, the authors candid in their responses."-David Winkler Schmit in Gambit Weekly

"...wonderfully spontaneous moments provide ...honest portraits of some of our favorite literary figures. Novel Voices will appeal to writers of all levels, fans of the profiled writers, and bibliophiles who can never get enough..."- Julia Kamysz Lane in The Times Picayune

"Levasseur and Rabalais not only know a thing or two about writing, they're also very talented interviewers and editors.... The writers contemplate the choices they make during story making, detail their weaknesses and tell us how they write their stories... Good stuff for other writers to think about. - reviewer at amazon.com
