Description

If your tone misses the mark, your readers stop reading — no matter how great your ideas are.

Author and Moody Publishers editor Drew Dyck joins Will Parker Anderson to tackle one of the biggest struggles nonfiction writers face: tone. It’s easy to get caught up in sounding smart or sharing everything you’ve learned, but that can push readers away. Drew unpacks how to strike the right balance—writing in a way that’s accessible, engaging, and reader-first.
