Workshop/Event Description

If you've ever been confused by the rules around deep third point of view, this workshop will clear up all the mysteries (well, most of them, anyway). We'll review the various forms of third-person POV and then discuss why you might choose deep third and what to beware of if you do. When should the voice be consistent, and when shouldn't it be? How far can you safely zoom out? How should multiple POVs be handled?

We'll also review some self-editing tips for POV and leave plenty of time at the end for questions.

Key Takeaways

  • Understand the difference between various types of third-person POV
  • Understand how to use deep third POV
  • Understand the pitfalls around deep third
  • Learn how to self-edit for POV
