A shared writing style

Most members of the same literary families that I looked at tended to write in similar ways.

From Jane Austen to James Patterson , every author has their own way of writing. And that writing is often discussed in terms of “style”. Essentially, style refers to “how” something is written—it is more concerned with form than content. So when, for example, someone remarks that they “enjoyed the story” but “didn’t like how it was written”, they are commenting on the style.
