THE POWER OF POINT OF VIEW
A COMPREHENSIVE MANUAL FOR NOVELISTS.This manual will be released by Writer's Digest Books in March 2008. It explores the complex but essential subject of character Point of View in an interactive and non-judgmental fashion. It's for you if you want more than just "first-person/third person", and if you're tired of
rules and ready to make your own decisions about POV in your own story.
You're welcome to browse through some of my articles, or submit a "question of the month" about some writing issue or a problem you're having with your own writing.
I also have a complete guide to plotting and writing element booklets for sale.
Please honor my ownership of
this material.
