Using Unconventional Perspectives in Storytelling
$ 30.00
In this workshop, you will learn how to use/experiment with unconventional POVs in writing, and discover how it might strengthen narrative/character voices and forward the themes and intentions of your short and long form works. Participants are encouraged send in an example of a published short story (preferably one free to read online with a link to the story itself, or if it isn't free, a passage or two from the piece) or excerpt from a published long-form work (a passage or two highlighting the POV use) prior to class that uses an unconventional perspective and be prepared to speak about it.
