What is Deep POV?
At its root, Deep POV is a set of techniques that an author uses to immerse the reader into the story or narrative. The author voice disappears, and the reader is brought into the thoughts, emotions, and viscera of the character — sees through their eyes, hears through their ears, thinks their thoughts, and feels their bodies respond to situations.
It’s the most “show don’t tell” form of writing. The events of the story become more personal and gripping for the reader because they feel like they are inside the character’s head, experiencing the story as they do.
Through a series of exercises combined with feedback, you will learn the basics of the methodology of this emerging form of writing that began in the early 2000s.
