Hello there is Peter here again from

writers life coming up today how to

write multiple points of view writing a

book with multiple points of view is one

of the most challenging ways to tell a

story and requires doodling and bouncing

various personalities points of view and

motivations as well as the ability to

pull these together to create a

narrative that not only makes sense but

is compelling and read worthy - however

done right and using multiple points of

view can provide added layers of insight

and intrigue to a story they can be a

smart and insightful way to widen the

readers perspective and allow them to

get to know multiple characters in more

depth before you get started it's

essential to make sure that telling your

story from multiple points of view is

the right decision list the reasons why

your story will benefit from using this

narrative device and be clear on why

this will enhance your story for example

by giving your reader a broader insight

into the into the world you are creating

or allowing different secrets to come

out through the different perspectives

giving the reader information that other

characters in the story do not have once

you have decided to go ahead and use

multiple points of view here are some

useful tips to ensure you make this as

effective as possible first be clear and

distinct when switching point of view

there's nothing worse than confusing

your reader and the danger of doing so

is far greater when using multiple

points of view be very clear when you

are switching from the perspective of

one character to another only changing

when beginning a new chapter is usually

a more natural way to keep switches

defined and easy to follow

next have distinct characters and voices

if you're using multiple points of view

make sure that they are all distinctive

and exciting enough to stand alone in

your story each character should have a

unique voice and personality that feels

utterly separate from the others and

next make everyone as important as each

other each point of view needs to come

from a character that's the hero of

their own story give equal importance to

each character and make sure that they

all have their journeys struggles

conflicts and obstacles to overcome

which make the reader interested in them

and want to hear more from their own

point of view next don't repeat the same

scenes over and over telling the same

scene from each character's point of

view runs the risk of boring your reader

and not allowing the story to move

forward of course there are times when

it is essential to reveal the same scene

from a different characters perspective

but unless truly necessary to the plot

try to avoid this next plan plot and

have a good strategy there needs to be a

reason you are using a particular

character to reveal a specific scene ask

yourself why that character works best

to tell that part of the story what

insight they bring and make sure that

they are the best man all best woman for

the job planning how the points of view

will come together and which character

to use to tell which bit of the story

will make sure things don't get confused

and that there are no inconsistencies in

your story either writing from multiple

points of view is tough but done right

can be incredibly smart and a useful

device to intrigue your reader to bring

different levels to your story and to

give the reader a whole cast of

characters to fall in love with if

you're thinking of using multiple points

of view to tell a story remember to keep

your reader in mind and use these tips

to help ensure you're doing well

and don't forget if you're struggling to

write off an issue but our free writers
