Mastering Point of View: Choosing and Using Perspective Effectively

Who tells your story changes it dramatically. A wasp lands on a jam sandwich in the garden - the toddler is intrigued, the mother is terrified because she knows she's allergic. The same incident from a different perspective creates a completely different story. And where your point of view comes from directs so much about what the reader can find out. 

In flash fiction, POV is even more important. There's no space for a wrong choice. In this workshop we will work through a set of prompts designed to help you discover how to choose the right perspective for your stories. And how to best wield it.
