Brilliant Beginnings
Grab your reader by the eyeballs and don't let go!
A great opening line will catch someone's attention, but how do you keep it? What do you do when your first chapter (or entire book) doesn't have monstrous murders, thrilling car chases, or even alien invasions?
In this fun, interactive workshop, we'll study examples of what works (and what doesn't), before looking at techniques we can apply to any story that can keep readers turning those pages.
Please note: This is a hands-on session. Attendees should bring the first ten pages of their current WIP.
