My indie author appreciation post for today is for Rara Hope! Rara’s writing is so poetic and beautiful. I love diving into her complex worlds and helping her pluck at the different threads.

Narrator voice = the voice telling the story (i.e. POV)
Character voice = the way your character thinks and speaks
