Bronx Writers Center - Fall Events

Point-of-View (POV) Workshop with Author A.J. Sidransky

This workshop will focus on helping writers to pick the appropriate POV for their work. Topics to be covered will include what POV is, types of POV, how and why we choose a particular POV, how this choice affects your work, employing multiple POVs in one work and how it affects readability. A.J. Sidransky will bring examples of POV choices from his own work, including his new novel Forgiving Mariela Camacho, and welcomes participants to bring examples from theirs. A discussion and Q&A period will follow this workshop presentation. Direct discussions of individual works under development are welcome. Location:
