Wednesday links: Multi-POVs and Pitch Wars insights

I love regularly reading tips and advice articles in certain subjects — particularly writing and publishing. I don’t always need the information right then, but I know that it’ll eventually come in handy. Or at least, I hope it will.

I know there are a lot of other people out there who feel the same way I do, but sometimes it can be difficult to find every useful advice article that’s out there. So I thought I’d bring you a few. Here are the tips and advice articles that jumped out at me the most over the past week.

Using Multiple Points of View: When and How Is It Most Effective?, from Jane Friedman: Have you tried writing a multi-POV novel, but found you had some trouble with it? You would’ be alone, but this article can help. Excerpt: “Some stories require greater scope, more voices, or a different context than can be delivered through the eyes of one protagonist. When you find this to be the case, consider using multiple viewpoints.”
Pitch Wars Insights, from Brenda Drake: Want to know a little more about the Pitch Wars experience? Michael Mammay as done a bit of homework for you. Excerpt: “To illustrate some of this, and offer some insight, I asked the people from the Pitch Wars 2015 class some questions, a year after they got accepted. 71 people responded.”
