Writing from multiple points of view or POVs can allow you to better understand your characters\, their relationships\, and their setting. We will look at excerpts from the novel \;When I Sing\, Mountains Dance \;by Irene Solà\; and other examples of multi-POV narratives to show how they create an interconnected narrative. Through generative exercises and sharing work with each other\, we&rsquo\;ll explore how multiple POVs can describe intergenerational and familial expectations\, characters&rsquo\; relationships with one another\, and the nature and environment of their world. This month-long workshop will help give you new perspectives for your characters and depth to your stories.
