Workshop: Room 118, 1:30-3:00. Up until the last five or ten years, most of the novels we read were written in some type of narrative point of view—a style where the author or narrator served as a kind of middleman, telling the reader what the main characters thought and felt. But for mass market fiction, most publishers now prefer deep point of view—a style where the author writes as though they are the main character. Learn how to flip your switch to deep POV—change passive voice to active, favor action beats over speaker tags and showing over telling, avoid head-hopping, and generate rich internal dialogue—to create vibrant and immersive writing.
