Rating:

ALL

Summary:

Determining point-of-view can establish your narrative, tie it to one character, and help develop the emotional resonance of your characters. It can also be a fantastic tool for laying the foundation for twists, red herrings, and big reveals. This workshop will explore points-of-view that are a little unusual, a little unreliable, and very unexpected to help build surprise and suspense into your story.
