on Helping Writers become Authors:
Today we’re going to be talking about a topic all writers have questions about at one point or another—and that is POV.
POV stands for “point of view.” It is the perspective through which you tell your story’s narrative. Specifically, we’re going to talk about which “person” you might want to use when choosing your POV. By that, what’s meant is either you’re going to choose to tell the story through first-person, second-person, third-person, or omniscient.
