Show Notes

Use the limitations of your POV to enhance your story.

Your story’s point of view impacts everything. It shapes how your readers get access to information about your story. And it shapes what information they have access to.

And since at its core, storytelling is just telling your reader information about a story, this is huge.

In this episode, I’m tackling a common POV problem I’ve seen in many, many manuscripts.

You’ll learn:

  • 3 reasons why POV is so tricky to master
  • The “easy out” POV writers choose when other points of view feel challenging to use
  • Why limits are actually good for your writing
  • And more!
