A big part of my job as a developmental editor and book coach is to help fiction writers think through their choices. And to ask them, How does this choice help you tell your story?, again and again as they develop, draft, and revise.

One of the most important storytelling choices you’ll make is point of view. The most common points of view in fiction are First Person POV, Third Person Limited POV, and Omniscient POV.

Some writers think very deeply about this choice. They try writing in different POVs, experimenting until they find one that captures their vision, or that resonates with them. Others gravitate instinctively to a particular point of view. However you come to it, it’s important to understand the choice that you’re making. It shapes everything from how characters show up on the page to how the plot unfurls, to the voice and tone of your story.

Every POV has something it does well. A Bright Spot. You’ll want to lean into that Bright Spot, taking advantage of the best it has to offer. And every POV has something it doesn’t do as well. A Blind Spot. You’ll want to make sure you are compensating for this Blind Spot.
