Book Fest Workshop: Perspectives on Point of View

Kathie Giorgio

At once simple and complicated, choosing or identifying point of view is one of the first responsibilities when writing a short story or a novel. Whose head are we in? Are we in that head all the time, or are there others? How do we express what that head is thinking? What's the difference between head-hopping and omniscience? The puzzle of point of view will be examined, pulled apart, and put back together in this workshop.
