Whidbey Island Writers Conference director, Terry Persun, will lead a WIWA class on Thursday 3/19 at 6:15 p.m., Exploring Point of View. This class will help you gain a firm grasp on one of the more difficult, yet fundamental, aspects of fiction. We’ll discuss what point of view is, why it’s important to your writing, and how to apply it well. You’ll leave with clearer insights into which point of view is best for your novel or story.

Terry Persun knows what writers need. He’s published a dozen novels and four poetry collections. Exploring Point of View, Thursday, 3/19, 6:15 p.m., at the NILA offices in the Old Bayview School, 5611 Bayview Road. Free for WIWA members, $10 for non-members. WIWA is a program of the Northwest Institute of Literary Arts. Register at nila.edu/classes.
