Writing Tip of the Day-POV

It’s possible to write a book using a variety of viewpoints from First Person to Omniscient, but may be difficult to interest an editor in such a tour de force. The best POV is the one most frequently used in any chosen genre.

Omniscient POV is a god-like perspective in which the author sees all, knows all. External actions and reactions of multiple characters are described at will, but the internal workings of their minds and emotions may or may not be given. It’s the least intimate POV, and the type used in much of classic literature. In this viewpoint, the author sometimes intrudes with personal opinions and philosophical musings.

There are six possible viewpoints from which a story can be presented, ranging from the completely impersonal Omniscient to the extremely personal First Person. The author chooses the view from which the story will be written based on how he/she wants the reader to experience it.
