Read Matt Kendrick’s latest post on Substack, exploring all the complexities of voice, whether belonging to the author, narrator, or character.
And thank you Matt for using my story, TYN (published @FlashBackFic) as an example of historical voice!

Happy #IndependenceDayIndia
May we remember the sacrifices.
Re-sharing a story about Cellular Jail/Kaala Paani where one can find hundreds of names engraved on the walls, of people who gave their all. Each name must have been a heart-wrenching story...

I got an email with this amazing graphic today from @bestmicrofic. What an awesome thing to receive!! Thank you again to the editors, and to @FlashBackFic for being this piece’s first home. 💚💚
Excellent! We just loved your piece; thanks so much for sending it to us and Congratulations again. Well deserved
✍🏼Find a fresh angle/tell a new story
✍🏼Make sure your story stands on its own feet: don’t rely on readers to know/Google
✍🏼Watch out for traps, eg what people eat or wear
✍🏼Play with form, if you want: History doesn’t have to be formal (think Wolf Hall)
Hi Deena, from our flash point of view:
✍🏼Remember, you’re writing a story not a history lesson.
✍🏼Make us feel with your characters. Personal stories open up worlds.
✍🏼Choose telling details and words to make an impact: don’t cram *all* your research in
Happy publication day to the very talented* Christopher Drew (@cmdrew81), who was one of our founding editors. We know ‘Essence’ will be brilliant.
Congratulations, Chris! 🎉 #FlashBackFamilyNews
(*he did the cover too!)
