Point of view (POV) is the most powerful tool in a writer's kit, but it's also the hardest to master.

The book provides concrete examples and exercises that will hone your writing skills. Whether you're a novice writer working on her first story or an established author, this book will help you to:

- Discover what point of view is and why it's so important. - Understand the different types of point of view such as first-person, third-person, omniscient, and deep POV. - Choose the point of view that works best for your story. - Write a novel from multiple viewpoints without confusing your readers. - Avoid head-hopping and other POV violations that would throw your readers out of the story. - Write internal monologue and take your readers deeply into your character's mind. - Create suspense and tension by using POV techniques. - Let your readers experience events through your main character's eyes to get them emotionally involved in your story.
