Point of View in Fiction [Irina Reyn]

All Levels | Many writers assume point of view in fiction is intuitively selecting from either first-person or third-person perspective . . .and go! But understanding what goes into that deceptively simple choice is crucial for the fiction writer seeking to crack open their novel or story.

We’ll do a fun writing exercise at the end that will cement our understanding of all these concepts.
