What’s your point of view? Whether it’s first person’s intimate voice, second person’s direct address, or third person’s expansive perspective, choosing the right point of view (POV) can elevate your storytelling to new heights. This workshop dives into the nuances of POV in fiction, guiding writers through the advantages, challenges, and storytelling power of each type. Through discussions, examples from well-known works, and hands-on exercises, you’ll explore techniques for using POV to craft engaging, layered narratives. You’ll leave with tools to avoid common pitfalls, handle shifts in perspective, and make your storytelling voice truly stand out.
