Readers love to be immersed in stories. They want the artifices to fall away and to feel as if they truly are the character as they go through a whirlwind romance, fight aliens in space, or attend a magical academy…etc. One of the key steps to creating immersive writing is to master deep point of view.
In this class, we’ll discuss what is a deep point of view, how to spot and weed out filter words and expressions, and how deep point of view can help your readers connect with the emotional journey and character arc for your leads in your novel. If you want to be sure that your fans feel as if they’re living your novel, not just reading through it, then this is the class for you!
