Deep third POVâsometimes called âclose thirdââis an unusual point of view: part limited-third, part first-person, it offers an intimacy and immediacy that can draw readers directly into a story, which has made it increasingly popular in the current market.
But it can also risk stalling pace with navel-gazing interiority, slip into head hopping, or leave readers feeling ungrounded. Deep third requires a deep understanding of character and a deft handling of direct perspective.
In this 90-minute live webinar, weâll look at what sets deep third apart from other points of view and how to most effectively use the great power it offers authors to allow readers deep into a characterâs direct experience. And weâll look at plentiful specific published examples to see what makes deep third work to open a window into your charactersâ direct experience while serving the story and moving it forward.
