I'm writing a story that is told from the perspective of multiple people. What is the best and cleanest way to switch between perspectives? Will just starting a new paragraph or chapter that begins with the new character's name suffice?

i would just write it out. you can't go a whole chapter without referencing the character's name regardless.

it's the cleanest and least obstructive way imo.

If your characters are well developed it shouldn't be a problem for the reader
