My preferred style is to write in first person, so I always have to play around with possible narrator voices until I find something that works.

Using a first-person narrator is simply a matter of hearing the voice inside yourself.

First person narrative is a very effective tool but you have to know as a writer how to make it work.

I normally write in the first person, and my narrators are as real to me as any of the people I have worked with. They live and breathe in my imagination.

One of the strategies for doing first-person is to make the narrator very knowing, so that the reader is with somebody who has a take on everything they observe.

I almost always use first person voice in my novels. It has its limitations, but it gives a sense of immediacy that's hard to create with an anonymous, all-seeing narrator.

When one is writing a novel in the first person, one must be that person.

When you're writing first person, all I can see and tell as the author is what that main character can see.

All writers I know are readers first and foremost, and that's why you become a writer.

The first audience that you have when writing a book is you.
