If someone has said your writing is too distancing or they can’t connect with your characters, then you need to use deep POV, a tool that will help you grab readers and not let them go. Once you learn to use it to your advantage, you’ll discover how it can build tension in a novel. This class will focus on deep POV, using the five senses, and imagery…ways you can make your characters come to life and become ones readers will never forget!
