Hi, thank you Kate. I have two recurring questions as I enter the home stretch of my action novel.

1. How important is it to have maximum one POV per chapter?

2. If it is essential, then in separating out POVs from existing chapters, what is the _minimum_ length for a chapter?

For example I separated one character's POV into a stand-alone chapter, but it is only three standard pages long.

I would appreciate any advice.

Cheers, Bill

1. I have no idea! I think it depends on how your novel is structured and if switching POVs makes sense to your story.

2. There is no minimum!

Do what makes sense for your story!
