If you want your readers to connect with your writing, you need to immerse them deeply into the mind of your characters. Your readers need to hear, see, and experience everything that your character experiences. But how do you do this? The answer is deep point of view.

We have a guest on the show today who is going to help us unpack the technique of writing deep point of view, or deep POV. She is a best-selling author of warmhearted, historical romance. She was voted #1 Readers’ Favorite Christian Romance Author in 2019 by FamilyFiction magazine. She is a multiple award-winning author and a firm believer in the power of happy endings.

Karen Witemeyer, welcome to the Christian Publishing Show!
