Who Is Telling Your Story?

An Exploration of Point of View

Point of View. We’ve all heard it but we’re not always clear on what it means or why a solid and consistent point of view is so crucial to our story.

In this class we will discover

·         The importance of point of view

·         Deciding which character or characters will tell the story

·         The differences kinds of point of view

o   First person

o   Third person

·         And the subtle differences in various types of third person

·         How the point of view choice affects the telling of the story

·         We’ll explore the strengths and weaknesses of each

·         We’ll identify traps and pitfalls that can limit or distort the point of view and jerk the reader out of the story

We’ll come out of the class with a clearer understanding of point of view and the impact of this concept on our story telling.
