Just how important is the right POV for your book?
Point of View is a powerful narrative tool that shapes the audience experience. Whether it's first, closed third, or an omniscient world view, your POV can make or break your story.
Join Lee Ann over Zoom, Sat., May 2nd, for this new masterclass!
(Space is limited to 25 writers because of in class "prompt" writing.
Early registration is encouraged.)
