First? Second? Third? Cinematic? Omniscient? Limited? Direct Address? Before you can begin to tell your story, you need to decide how to tell it. This crucial decision has important implications throughout the writing process since different points of view offer unique challenges and opportunities. How many times have you realized on page eight that you’re in the wrong point of view? How many rejections has a wobbly point of view earned you? (I know I’ve got a few!). This webinar will pass quickly over theory to hacks, tricks, checklists and other useful tips to staying on point when you’re narrating.
