I am in the process of re-drafting and currently working on my Prologue: editing editing and more editing :)
My story is written from a third person point of view. However I was wondering if it would be frowned upon (bad practice) to write my prologue from a first person prospective. The narrative coming from a sub-character who is an ever present throughout the story.
Or Is it one of the other?
Thanks Erika, I plan on trying to find an agent for my work later this year. I have heard they can be very particular about these kinds of details so want to make sure I get things right.
Personally I believe that you can use both, as long as it not flipping with every chapter.
I have done this on several occasions - my prologue is written in first person and the subsequent chapters in third.
I don't think it's a big deal but I guess you need to make it clear and make sure that it still makes sense.
I have read a few published books using this format admittedly they are normally short stories but I believe the format would work in a longer story.
