Learn how to hook your readers from the very beginning.
Most editors of both magazines and presses will say that they read the first, last and middle page of a story before deciding if they want to read more. Potential readers are even less forgiving. So how do we snag our readers and make them want to read more?
In this class, we’ll look at examples of powerful first lines and pages, and discuss strategies for selecting a powerful first line and first pages. Feel free to bring the first line of your story or novel for a mini first-line “workshop.” We’ll also do exercises to evaluate our current first pages and how to decide if we’re starting our stories in the right place.
TAKE THIS CLASS IF:
- You are querying or submitting fiction and want to make your pages shine.
- You are editing a novel or short story and want to make sure your first page is the best it can be.
- You are unsure about your opening pages and if they’re the right place to start your story.
- You’re feeling stuck in your writing project.
The deadline to register for this class is Wednesday, May 3 at 5:00 PM CT.
