Mastering Point of View

By: Rob Bignell

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

For beginning writers, point of view often is the most difficult element to master. Without really understanding the role point of view plays in storytelling, aspiring authors frequently select the wrong one. Sometimes they prefer to write or read a specific point of view, so they just go with that, even though it's not the best choice for their story.

Mastering Point of View addresses those and many other issues writers face with this element of fiction. It examines the three main points of view – first, third and second – and the different forms each one can take. It looks at when using a specific point of view is to a story’s benefit and when it’s to the story’s detriment. It discusses how to select your viewpoint character and why a consistent point of view is vital.

Part of the Storytelling 101 Quick Read series, Mastering Point of View answers all of your questions in a brief, easy to understand format. It cuts to the chase and provides practical, useful information that can be followed step-by-step.

Good quick listen

Nothing life changing here but worth the time. Virtual voice did a good job. I would try something else from this author.
