The term ‘voice’ is often misused in relation to POV. But the term actually refers to the author’s ‘voice’–their style, their unique approach or flavour–rather than any technical aspects of character, dialogue or POV.

In theory a writer’s ‘voice’ should carry through all their work (or multiple voices in the cases of those writers who are accomplished enough to have multiple pennames/aliases and write for different genres).

You will often hear publishers calling for ‘new voices’. That doesn’t necessarily mean ‘new writers’. They want new styles, new approaches, fresh…well, voices!
