What Will I Learn?

• Use all the literary techniques that bring readers and characters together, and choose when to use them, and when not to.
• Write powerful POV (point-of-view), or write without using POV at all!

Requirements

• You need to know the basic language of storytelling - what is meant by "character," "plot," "outline," etc.
• It will help if you are already familiar other literary terminology such as POV (point-of-view), narrative voice, imagery, etc.

Target audience

• Anyone who wants to be an author of fiction
• Writers who want to firm up their knowledge of technique
• Writers who want to confirm what they have learned informally or self-taught
• Writers who are confused by the endless and conclusionless discussions of POV (point-of-view)
