Talk:Wk.4 Wiki: Voice- a Narrators Point of View/@comment-44826798-20200130041042

In its simplest terms, the narrator is the voice in your book which is not that of any of the characters. In other words, anything you write which does not come from the mouths of your characters is narrative summary. However, the narrator is not you.Therefore, novels contain two types of voice: the characters’ voices AND the narrator’s voice. However, and this is important, the narrator’s voice is NOT the author’s voice. The narrator is a character who the author controls. The narrator often says things that an author believes to be untrue; that’s why it is called fiction.
