THE PROBLEM...

Do you struggle adding emotional depth to your stories? Are you tired of hearing "go deeper" from crit partners and editors?

Wondering how to create a more powerful connection and emotional impact for readers?

Has an editor or agent told you to rewrite in deep point of view?

Deep Point of View is a writing style that's dynamic, visceral, and immediate. The goal of this writing technique is for the writer to disappear and minimize the perceived distance between the reader and the point of view character. Some contemporary readers want an emotional journey as much as a good story. They want an experience.

At the heart of Deep Point of View is an immersive experience for the reader through an emotional connection to the character.

This intimate and emotive style of writing resonates with contemporary readers, if you've got the guts to "go there" with your characters. This isn't a difficult skill set to master, but it requires a shift in how you tell stories and sometimes those shifts don't seem intuitive. It's hard to learn on your own.
