Unlike other books on POV, The Power of Point of View goes beyond simply defining the various POV options and shows readers how to use POV to enhance and tie together all other story components. Get genre-specific POV tips, techniques for crafting POV to individual stories and writing styles, engaging exercises, and more. Learn the difference between a pedestrian telling of a story and a powerful telling is in how the point of view is handled. A well-written story is one in which the author allows POV to guide not just how the plot develops, but how the story--the merging of plot and character--develops. In The Power of Point of View, you will learn POV basics and then how to use POV to influence a story from the ground up. About the Author Professional book editor, award-winning author, and writing instructor Alicia Rasley draws on a diverse selection of examples from novels and short stories to illustrate the various points of views and how to use them to showcase character, plot, setting, and ultimately to craft a successful story.
