The 4A Framework Explained

Finding a writing voice can be simplified using the 4A framework, which categorizes nonfiction writing into four main voices: actionable, analytical, aspirational, and anthropological. Each of these voices approaches topics differently, offering unique reader experiences. For example, the book 'I Will Teach You to Be Rich' exemplifies the actionable voice with its clear steps for readers to follow, while 'The Psychology of Money' adopts an anthropological voice by exploring human behavior toward money. Understanding these voices allows writers to identify their strengths and preferences, guiding them in their writing journey.
