Last week, Maria Andreu and I did a joint author visit at Overbrook High School on "Books from the Headlines: Contemporary Issues in Teen Fiction." (Maria wrote The Secret Side of Empty, which I highly recommend.) We met with lots of students who had questions about the writing process. The book club group, in particular, had come technical questions about point of view, so I thought I'd pull together some resources.
Point of View
Here are some blog posts about POV that I recommend:
