The Shit No One Tells You About Writing · Author Insights from Hank Phillippi Ryan, Linwood Barclay and Laura Moriarty · 20 Aug 2026 podcast

And I think at one point sister Michael is listening to him speak and she's like, Have I died? podcast-host

Is this hell? podcast-host

Is this what hell is like? podcast-host

And I feel like bad stories are like Uncle Collins. podcast-host

So we do not want to be Uncle Collins podcast-host

Yeah, yeah, very much so. podcast-host

So I'm busy working on a novel at the moment that it's my first time that I'm having a single POV character. podcast-host

I normally do a lot of POV characters. podcast-host

And this is also like the redemptive looking back voice. podcast-host

She's looking back from a point in her future you don't know when. podcast-host

But it's looking at her from about the age of 13. podcast-host

And what that allowed me to do is that I didn't have to write in the 13-year-old's voice. podcast-host

Because if I'd written the the first person present tense, you know, I would have had to use a completely different voice for her, different vocabulary. podcast-host

She wasn't allowed to be educated. podcast-host

It was only later she became educated. podcast-host

So when it comes to choosing that voice, you know, you've got her. podcast-host

Adult voice narrating. podcast-host

But you also don't want to interject too much of a life experience after now, because there's instances where there's books people recommend she reads, like Animal Farm, and she just thinks, okay, it's just about animals, and they have to explain to her, no, it's like about communism, et cetera. podcast-host

So you still want to show the things she doesn't know at that age, even with the adult voice. podcast-host

So can you speak a bit about striking that balance? podcast-host
