Master Story Point of View (POV) - Short Course
Choose and use the right Point of View to showcase the emotional drama and intrigue in your story.
Nothing puts a potential agent/judge/editor/publisher off faster than head-hopping borne of poor POV understanding, or not using a POV that makes the most of the story structure and emotional drama.
The voice of the character who is telling a story, shapes the way readers connect with the action and participants, and during this workshop you will unravel the sometimes difficult choice about which POV(s) is best for your story and how to deliver it consistently.
Your POV delivery will be flawless in no time!
This workshop will give you the skills to:
- Recognise the different POV types and applications.
- Be able to choose the POV that’s right for your story and author style.
- Be able to write in first person, third person limited or omniscient.
- Handle POV changes and multiple viewpoints with ease.
- Understand the effect of POV on distance, tense and genre.
