Understanding Point of View with Victoria Landis In-Person

Attention all writers! Join us for a workshop led by a published author!

There are crucial choices to make before you write your novel. What is a POV? How many POVs are necessary to accomplish what you want the reader to experience? How do you decide which character(s) will tell the story? This interactive workshop will help you determine those answers, as well as help you understand how to use POV to enhance your characters (and make your reader love them) and avoid mistakes. Bring paper and pen or a laptop/tablet so you can participate.

Victoria Landis is a professional writer, editor, and artist. A 16-yr member, and former board member, of Mystery Writers of America, she Co-Chaired the SleuthFest Writers Conference from 2015-2018. She's taught at SleuthFest, the Authors Academy at Murder on the Beach, and the Alvin Sherman Library at Nova Southeastern. Her newest novel, Jordan, is a thriller with a magical realism/paranormal element and a cautionary tale of human nature and how it hasn’t changed in thousands of years. Her suspense novel, Blinke It Away, set on Oahu—where she lived for twelve years—was chosen as a Reviewer's Pick on BookRooster.com. Her 2nd novel, Alias: Mitzi & Mack, is a humorous crime dramedy set in South Florida, in the fictional town of West Sago Beach. She wrote a humor column for ten years, and her  A Little Bit Sideways, a compilation of humorous essays about life. As an artist, along with special effects and canvas painting, she does graphics and especially loves designing book covers. Her three adult sons are her best accomplishment and make her so proud she could burst. She lives in Key Largo where she's working on her next novel while staring at gorgeous sunsets on Florida Bay from the martini deck. Find more information about her and her books, including ‘character interviews’, on her website www.VictoriaLandis.com
