I am an avid writer looking to begin in Watpad very soon. Many stories, which will be rather lengthy, will be released soon.

I am a fan of Multiple POV stories, I usually like to follow these 5 guidelines whilst writing:

"Their perspective must add something that no other character’s perspective can offer. A good example of this can be seen in stories where the author wants the readers to know something that they don’t want other characters to know. Maybe you want the readers to know the villain’s true intentions, but you want your protagonist left in the dark. Or you want everyone except the star-crossed lovers to know how each other feel.

The character’s perspective must advance the story, not stall it. Flashbacks may be an exception (if used as a method of giving a crucial perspective), but there is nothing more frustrating for a reader than an unnecessary side plot. All plots and perspectives should serve to advance the central plot.

Alternating character chapters should not be used to recap the same scene from a different perspective. The only exception to this is to give an opinion/reaction/perspective on a major event, however even in this case the chapter should advance the story.

The character’s voice and viewpoints must be wholly unique so that the characters do not run together. Voice becomes even more important when you’re taking a character from a secondary to a primary, but it also becomes more challenging.

The character’s perspective must serve some purpose other than exposition. If you can’t find any value in a character’s POV other than just explaining something that could be just as easily explained by someone else…then either rework that character’s role or remove the POV." -Sarah Cradit
