Out of Sight, Out of Mind: A Writer's Guide to Mastering Viewpoint

Florida Writers Association Winner, 2015 PUBLISHED BOOK OF THE YEAR. How do you put aside your writer's point of view goggles and express what a fictional character sees, hears, thinks, and experiences? How do you keep viewpoint consistent? How do you keep your reader from getting bumped out of the storytelling spell you cast, and saying, "Wait...what?" One of the most difficult writing skills to grasp is that of writing from the viewpoint of fictional characters. A must-have for writers of both fiction and nonfiction, Out of Sight, Out of Mind teaches through example how to spot-and more importantly, how to fix--both obvious and not-so-obvious errors in viewpoint.
