\nThis week your hosts are Brandon Sanderson, Mary Robinette Kowal, Dan Wells, and Howard Tayler. We spend a few minutes on the\xa0administrative stuff \xa0above before jumping into January's\xa0structural topic, the\xa0first person voice, with a discussion of the\xa0variations\xa0in how that POV is presented. We cover some of the different first person POV styles, what sorts of stories they're often best-suited for, and how we go about writing them well.
\n
\nSpoiler Alert: Episode 12.3 will feature Sandra Tayler, and is a Project In Depth on her story, "Risk Assessment," which was illustrated by Natalie Barahona and Howard Tayler. It appears in Force Multiplication: Schlock Mercenary Book 12,\xa0available direct from Hypernode Media, or through Amazon.
