In your natural way of producing words there is a sound, a texture, a rhythm-a voice' (Elbow, 1998). 1 Elbow's description captures the way in which writer's voice is recognised intuitively, even when it is difficult to define explicitly.Most of us recognise colleagues we overhear in the hallway before we see them because a familiar voice carries distinctive patterns of rhythm, emphasis and expression.But would we recognise them by their written voices?Probably not.
