Are you ready to take your novel manuscript to the next level?
Now more than ever, a strong opening is vital for a novel’s success. Your manuscript has very little time in an agent’s hands or a reader’s hands before they decide whether or not to keep going. In order to stand out from the hundreds of other novels, your opening pages need to be polished and diamond-sharp. In this class, we’ll cover everything you need to jump start your manuscript with compelling tension and a vivid, distinct, voice.
This class will cover:
- The six elements of a strong beginning
- How NOT to open your first chapter
- How to create a flexible outline that grows with your novel
- How to set—and raise—the stakes of your novel
- Simple methods for organizing your work in progress
