Choosing the Right POV For Your Novel

This video will cover how to choose the best/right POV for your novel! The POV you choose can have a huge impact on tension/pacing, and how your novel is read/the arcs and emotional impact. Very often, if a story isn't working, you may have the wrong POV character or approach.
POV can mean a couple different things, and you should consider not only the character or characters through whose perspective to tell the story, but also the literal POV/tense to use--1st person vs. 3rd person, present vs. past tense, etc. I will cover it all, including why I think 1st person narratives can be "lazy" (but I also love them), limited vs. omniscient POV, why dual/multi-POV is often a mistake and more!
Don't worry: I'll give plenty of examples, most from The Hunger Games :D
