  • Episode 73: Melissa F. Miller - Writing in Multiple Third Person POVs
    Mar 6 2024

    In this episode of First Draft Friday, our guest is bestselling thriller author Melissa F. Miller. Melissa discusses writing in multiple third-person POV thrillers.

    Melissa says “I love writing big, juicy multiple POV thrillers. Every once in a while, I’ll do dual narrators (like my Shenandoah Shadows romantic suspense books and The Anniversary Party) or even just one narrator (the first three We Sisters Three mysteries), but most of the time, my view on points of view is the more, the merrier!”
