This is the place to learn deep POV!
I've spent over ten years learning deep POV and I know how frustrating it is to learn this style of writing.

Try the stand-alone courses without any feedback options, or take the longer deep POV masterclass (only open 2-4 times a year) that includes over two dozen opportunities for feedback and longer critiques to help you learn even faster!

Resubmit in deep point of view…
In deep point of view, the goal is to immerse the reader in the character’s lived experience of the story journey. The goal is to remove as much of the author/narrator voice as possible so that every word on the page comes from within the character. The reader isn’t being told a story by an author about one, or many, characters. Rather, the character is living out this story in real time with the reader in their head the whole time.
And this is hard!
This style of writing creates powerful emotional connections with readers, when it’s done well, when it’s used strategically to create specific effects. Lots of blogs and books will take you through the foundational tools of deep point of view, but then leave you hanging with the more advanced details of how to make this technique work FOR you and your story.
This 4 week Masterclass is a deep dive into deep point of view. Over ten years of learning is condensed into bite-size lessons to build your knowledge base and prevent overwhelm. Streamline your learning while getting personalized feedback on YOUR work -- and get back to writing faster!

Learn The Basics Of Deep POV
Deep POV is a popular writing technique that aims to remove the psychic or narrative distance between the reader and the POV character. It's not a writer telling a story about one or many characters (as in omniscient, objective third, or limited third person POVs), rather it's that the reader experiences the character's story journey as though it's virtual reality or first-person shooter style. Deep POV is an immersive and immediate writing style that creates powerful emotional connections between readers and characters.
This course lays out in bite-size chunks the foundational tools that make this popular style of writing work for you. There's no point picking out paint if you don't have walls, right. Start at the beginning and get the tools you need to build a proper story house in deep POV.
