S49E2 – Is Having Multiple POVs the Same as Head Hopping?

This is a question we see a lot in the writing forums and discussion groups: Is head hopping the same thing as having multiple points of view within a single story? The short answer is no. These two are very different in how they are presented on the page, and head hopping is rarely seen as acceptable by the reader.

In this episode we break down the differences and look at how to write multiple points of view without crossing into the dangerous territory of head hopping.
