    This flow chart helps writers choose their narrative perspective for a novel. It asks whether the novel will be written in first person, third person, or both, and how many perspectives will be shown. For multiple perspectives, it prompts the writer to consider how they will distinguish and transition between characters. It also asks the writer to determine the tense of their writing. The goal is for writers to outline these perspective decisions up front to guide them as they write their novel.
