How do I choose the right narrative perspective for my story?

Choosing the right narrative perspective depends on the story you want to tell. Are you considering first-person, third-person, or another perspective?

I think first-person could be interesting. What are the benefits of that?

First-person perspective allows readers to connect deeply with the narrator's thoughts and feelings, creating intimacy and immediacy.

What about third-person? How does that compare?

Third-person can offer a broader view of the story, allowing you to explore multiple characters' thoughts and experiences, which can enrich the narrative.

Are there any tips for switching perspectives within a story?

Yes! If you switch perspectives, make sure to do it clearly to avoid confusing the reader. Consider using chapter breaks or section headers.
