I interviewed Bona Hayes in a previous episode:\\xa0 Confessions with Editor Bona Hayes.\\xa0\\xa0

This episode is about Point of View.

The point of view of a book is the method and perspective an author uses for conveying the story.\\xa0 Writers may choose to tell their story from one of four perspectives:

• First person point of view.First person is when\\xa0\\u201cI\\u201d am telling the story. The character is\\xa0in\\xa0the story, relating his or her experiences directly.
• Second person point of view.The story is told to \\u201cyou.\\u201d This POV is not\\xa0common in fiction, but it\\u2019s still good to know (it\\xa0is\\xa0common in nonfiction).
• Third person point of view, limited.The story is about \\u201che\\u201d or \\u201cshe.\\u201d This is the\\xa0most common point of view\\xa0in commercial fiction. The narrator is outside of the story and relating the experiences of a character.
• Third person point of view, omniscient. The story is still about \\u201che\\u201d or \\u201cshe,\\u201d but the narrator has full access to the thoughts and experiences of\\xa0all\\xa0characters in the story.
