Description:
POV: Who Is Driving Your Story Vehicle?
By Alicia Rasley
Point of view or “POV” is like the vehicle that takes your reader through the story. The question is—who is driving in each scene? Alicia Rasley, who wrote the book The Power of Point of View, will explain how your choice of the driver or POV can give the reader a unique experience of the events and characters. We’ll discuss the purposes of the major POV approaches – first person, third person, and omniscient—and the effects each will have on your audience.
You’ll end up with an expanded sense of POV possibility!
