Deciding your narrative point-of-view—who is telling the story and what is the vantage point—is an essential building block of all writing.
In this workshop, editor and writing teacher Nadine Davidoff will examine the benefits and shortfalls of various point-of-view options.
You will look at narrative vantage point and ask: from where is the story being told? And how does the narrator’s vantage point affect the emotional tone and direction of the narrative?
You will also flip point-of-view to that of the reader and ask: Who is listening? Is the reader being treated as an insider or an outsider to the world being portrayed? And how does this influence the writing?
- When: Saturday 14 June, 10am–1pm
- Where: Online
