A good authorial voice is one that is intimate and natural, not damaged by such as the customs of academic writing that crush individual style. This voice carries emotion and energy because it isn't forced.

Furthermore it's very powerful because, if a reader is intimate enough with it, which might mean actually knowing the author well or something, then it can carry subtext with almost the same density as text.

That makes it much more flexible and expressive than the dead voice that arises from forcing a style upon oneself.

writing, musing, words
