Naveed Saleh
“Style and voice are different. Style is standard conventions of writing. Voice is the distinct way an individual puts words together. All good writers have a near-uniform understanding of style but a voice all their own.”
Naveed Saleh, The Complete Guide to Article Writing: How to Write Successful Articles for Online and Print Markets

Mokokoma Mokhonoana
“Whenever I encounter writer’s block, I stop writing … with my hands; and I then start writing with my legs.”
Mokokoma Mokhonoana
