Give your fiction a professional edge and increase its publication chances.
One of the most challenging fiction techniques is perspective. A wandering Point of View confuses readers and signals literary agents and publishers that the author has lost control of their own story. Choosing a plan that is well matched to your story and voice can make the difference between a publishing contract and rejection. Learn how to develop an effective and consistent perspective that will demonstrate your competence and enable readers to follow a story’s progress while avoiding confusing “head hopping.”
