Why POV Is Confusing, and How We Can Think Clearly About It
Point of View is the channel through which the reader experiences a story, so getting it right is crucial. Yet POV slips are among the most common errors editors see. The root cause of this is confusion about the difference between person, e.g., first or third, and who carries the viewpoint, the character or the narrator. Freelance editor Kristen Stieffel will explain the difference between writing in character POV versus narrator POV, and how to choose which is right for your story.
