There is also a great video from Ellen Brock’s Youtube channel on figuring out if your novel idea will stand up. (If you’re not following her on youtube I highly suggest it). I hope you take what you learn and use it to write your first fantastically amazing novel.

How do you know which POV is best for your novel? The article below is one of the best introductions into POV I have found and should give you the necessary tools to craft your narrative from the correct point of view.
There is also a short YouTube video on choosing POV if you don’t have time to read the article at the moment. Let me know what you think and how you go about choosing POV for your stories. I hope you use what you learn to sell more books😀
