Writer's Lab: A Game of Perspective

with author Joe Hill

Book Fest headliner Joe Hill presents a 90-minute hands-on workshop on using point of view to unlock your best writing.

A Game of Perspective: Using Point-of-View to Unlock Your Best Writing 

Joe will demonstrate how to get inside a character’s head, exploring what they notice – and, just as importantly, what they don’t. Every character in your story has their own idiosyncratic biases; they have regrets, daydreams, fears, and longings entirely unique to them. So it stands to reason that the reader will experience a scene one way from one character’s point-of-view, and an entirely different way from another character’s perspective. Find out how an agile use of POV can unlock the possibilities of your story and heighten the power of a moment. 
 
Joe Hill is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Heart-Shaped Box, The Fireman, and others. Much of his work has been adapted for film, including the Blumhouse smash The Black Phone, adapted from his short story, and Locke & Key, a hit Netflix series based on the comic he co-created with artist Gabriel Rodriguez. He lives in New England.
