Deeper Point-of-View: Making the Reader-Character Connection

Create emotional bonds between readers and characters that transform casual readers into devoted fans through advanced point-of-view techniques.

Deep point-of-view is one of the most powerful tools in fiction writing, yet it's often misunderstood or ineffectively applied. In this comprehensive video workshop, New York Times bestselling editor Angela James reveals the practical techniques that make readers feel like they're experiencing the story through your characters' senses, emotions, and thoughts.

Why deep point-of-view matters for your fiction:

• It creates immersive reading experiences that keep readers engaged
• It builds emotional investment that makes readers care about outcomes
• It differentiates your writing in a crowded marketplace
• It strengthens character development without lengthy exposition
• It increases reader memory and connection to your entire series

This practical workshop covers essential deep POV techniques:

• Eliminating narrative distance - Identify and remove barriers between readers and character experience
• Sensory immersion strategies - Go beyond visual descriptions to engage all senses authentically
• Internal monologue crafting - Create natural thought patterns that reveal character without exposition
• Emotional resonance building - Show feelings through action and reaction rather than naming emotions
• Filter word identification - Recognize and replace words that create unnecessary narrative distance
• Character voice development - Ensure POV matches character background, education, and personality

Perfect for writers at every experience level:

• Beginning writers will discover fundamental techniques for creating character connection
• Intermediate authors will identify specific issues holding back their character development
• Published authors will find advanced strategies to elevate their writing to the next level

What makes this workshop uniquely valuable:

• Before and after examples - See how specific sentence revisions dramatically increase emotional impact
• Genre-flexible applications - Adapt techniques for your particular story and audience expectations
• Progressive skill building - Learn a systematic approach to deepening POV throughout your manuscript
• Reader psychology insights - Understand why certain techniques create stronger emotional connections
• Practical implementation guidance - Apply techniques immediately to your current work-in-progress
