Off the Page: Creative Writing Workshop with Josie Shapiro

I, You, They, We: The Architecture of Point of View

Who is telling the story, and why does it matter? In this creative writing workshop, we will look at the craft elements specific to different points of view and how they inform our fiction. With a mix of discussion and writing exercises, we will explore first, second, third and first-person-plural point of view: how they are built and sustained, and how each shapes the reading experience.
