The Power of Point of View


The Power of Point of View by Alicia Rasley is a book I've added to my Writing Bookshelf after it was recommended at a recent workshop. The subject was touched on in class but I wanted something more comprehensive and Rasley's book provided just what I was looking for.

Point of view is something I struggled with. It's so much more than just who's telling the story, although that is a big part of it. Rasley gives you the fundamentals, than goes deeper, telling you how to use POV to make your story more powerful. She's a good teacher and has an interesting and easy way of explaining things. Examples and exercises are included.
