: Re: Question regarding narration and 1st - 3rd person swaps I'm currently in the process of writing my first novel, and I'm a little unsure about one of the main features of my writing process.

If it's really short â€”Â no more than a few paragraphs â€”Â set it off with italics. It should quickly become apparent from context who the first-person-italics character is.

If it's pages and pages, make the husband's parts interstitial bits between chapters of Sam's story, and label them as Sam and Dean or whatever. Labeling the chapter by the POV character when you have multiple POVs in a novel is very common and easy to follow.

Don't write four pages of italics. It's visually exhausting.
