How does an author decide whether to write a novel in first-person, or third-person, or...second person? Is that even a thing? Why do I keep accidentally changing my story from past tense to present tense? Why does this "voice" and "tense" stuff feel so confusing? If you're a writer (at any level!) who enjoys playing with story craft, this is a chance to dig into two really useful but often ignored elements of narrative style through reading, writing exercises and discussion. Taught by writer/actor/storyteller Amy Salloway.
