Point of view is arguably the most important craft element of a creative work. But creating stunning stories goes beyond the basic point of view and into a deeper understanding of narrative distance and the stakes of your work. In this three-hour workshop, we’ll discuss how to choose a point of view, the benefits and pitfalls of each option, and ways to avoid head-hopping and point of view errors. Participants will practice writing in multiple point of views and will have the opportunity to share their work.
This is an interactive online class using the Zoom web platform.
Finnian Burnett’s work explores the intersections of the human body, mental health, and gender identity. They are a recipient of the Canada Council for the Arts grant, a finalist in the 2023 CBC nonfiction prize, and a 2024 Pushcart nominee.
Their work appears in Blank Spaces Magazine, Reflex Press, The Daily Sci-Fi, CBC, and more. Their two novellas-in-flash, The Clothes Make the Man and The Price of Cookies, are available through Ad Hoc Fiction and Off Topic Publishing respectively.
When not writing or teaching, Finnian enjoys walking, Star Trek, and cat memes. Finn can be found at www.finnburnett.com
