Ask Me Anything Thursdays: Can I Mix POV Styles in a Dual POV Novel?

Have you ever wondered if you can write a dual POV novel where one protagonist is in first person and the other is in third? In this episode, I answer this question from fantasy writer Becca and break down when and how this technique can work beautifully in speculative fiction.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why mixing POVs can be a powerful storytelling tool.
  • How to decide which protagonist should be in first person.
  • The key to making each POV distinct and immersive.
  • Examples of speculative fiction novels that have successfully used mixed POVs.
  • Tune in for practical tips, examples, and guidance to help you decide if a mixed POV structure is right for your novel!
