How to Write From Different Perspectives

In this video, we share the main ways of telling a story using different viewpoints. By using this guide, you can choose the point of view that’s best for your story. Your story will have a strong narrative and plenty of drama to keep your readers hooked throughout. Applying these tips will save you lots of valuable time by avoiding the pitfalls that often befall writers setting off on their writing journey. We discuss first-person voice, third-person voice, limited third person, multiple-perspectives, omniscient narrator and epistolary stories and examine the strengths and weaknesses of each. You can then choose the voice that is best for your story. To demonstrate how each approach can enhance your story we provide lots of examples from famous books, plays and films.
