When is it best to make use of I, me, mine? How does an author separate their voice from their narrator? Are all first-person speakers unreliable? How should we describe events for which the first-person is not present? Is a first-person narrator by definition a story's protagonist? Are there rules for using first-person plural? In this 4-week course, we'll study examples of I from major writers, try a bunch of exercises, and generate strong pages about intriguing tellers.
