I can’t choose for any of you, but before we talk about deep POV, I want to mention that POV is also affected by audience and I believe is a direct reflection of how connected we are as a society.

First person and deep third. People dig intimacy.

One more question, you seem so knowledgable on trends – does certain fiction have a POV that is trending? Like most YA/NA is first person. What is the trend, if any, for commercial fiction and romance, in your opinion?

THANK you! That is what I meant, just confused the terms! Third person limited and then vary the depths. I will definitely look up Deep POV on your site. Thank you for your advice.

It is changing these days. I see more and more playing with POV. I don’t care for omniscient because the psychic distance is very cold and these days we are a Reality TV world, so it is a tough sell to an audience used to being up close and personal. What you may do is vary third limited with deep third. Google my posts about Deep POV to see what I am talking about 😀 .

My first novel was a head hopping nightmare but oddly enough picked up by a publisher, where I learned the error of my ways. It was a romance, an easy fix with an editor’s help. I knew nothing about POV and learned so much. My second novel is commercial fiction and I’m wondering about POV for this story. Can the main character be 3rd Omniscient (in varying degrees) through out the novel and the other characters be 3rd limited? Does that make sense? Or do they all have to be one or the other? See, I’m so uneducated about writing I don’t even know how to phrase the question! 😉

Great meeting you and reading your blog. Off to try some different POVs with my story. I appreciate your help.
