Writing Workshop: Point of View with Vivian Dorsel

It all depends on how you look at it—and on who’s doing the looking. Characterization, setting, tone, style, and even the details of plot can change, depending on the point of view from which a story is told. Join author Vivian Dorsel to discover the impact pointof- view can have on your work. In this workshop, fiction and creative nonfiction writers will learn techniques that lead to a greater understanding of the writing process.

Vivian Dorsel is the founder of Ledgetop Publishing and editor of the literary annual, upstreet. She holds an MFA in Fiction Writing from Vermont College of Fine Arts and has conducted classes for writers of all ages and skill levels.
