Why Speed Reading Will Destroy Your Soul

from Substack Live Podcast · host Sarah Fay, PhD

Subscribe to Substack Writers at Work: www.substackwritersatwork.comToday, we talk about subvocalization and how important it is to reading and voice and how important it is to writing. Voice is one of the hardest craft skills to teach and learn. If more Substack writers and authors had it, a lot more of them would be earning an income. The most profound subvocalization-causing effects—your authentic voice, i.e., you—are rendered during the messy middle of the writing process. Past brainstorming and drafting, we get into revision and editing, where you render your voice into silent words. This is a public episode.
