Point of View in Fiction by Marcy Kennedy

Point of view isn't merely another writing craft technique. Point of view is the foundation upon which all other elements of the writing craft stand-or fall. It's the opinions and judgments that color everything the reader believes about the world and the story. It's the voice of the character that becomes as familiar to the reader as their own. It's what makes the story real, believable, and honest. Yet, despite its importance, point-of-view errors are the most common problem for fiction writers. In Point of View in Fiction: A Busy Writer's Guide, you'll learn the strengths and weaknesses of the four different points of view you can choose for your story (first person, second person, limited third person, and omniscient), how to select the right point of view for your story, how to maintain a consistent point of view throughout your story, practical techniques for identifying and fixing head-hopping and other point-of-view errors, the criteria to consider when choosing the viewpoint character for each individual scene or chapter, and much more Each book in the Busy Writer's Guide series is intended to give you enough theory so that you can understand why things work and why they don't, but also enough examples to see how that theory looks in practice. In addition, they provide tips and exercises to help you take it to the pages of your own story, with an editor's-eye view. Most importantly, they cut the fluff so that you have more time to write and to live your life.

Marcy Kennedy is a speculative fiction and suspense writer who believes fantasy is more real than you think. It helps us see life in this world in a new way and gives us a safe place to explore problems that might otherwise be too difficult to face. Alongside her own writing, Marcy works as a freelance editor and teaches classes on craft and social media through WANA International. She's also a proud Canadian, the proud wife of a former U.S. Marine, owns five cats and a dog who weighs as much as she does, and plays board games and the flute (not at the same time). Sadly, she's also addicted to coffee and jelly beans. You can find her blogging about writing and about the place where real life meets science fiction, fantasy, and myth at www.marcykennedy.com.
