Craft Fantastic First Pages: Reel readers and publishers in with a dazzling first chapter with Sandy Vaile

We all know how vital a dazzling first chapter is to attracting agents, publishers, readers and competition wins, but it’s also the hardest part of the story, right?

Have you rewritten your first chapter about a million times (no exaggeration), changed where the story starts and agonized over every word and comma? Well, I feel your pain. I’ve lived it!

The Fantastic First Pages workshop will guide you through:

• Figuring out the best place for your story to start;
• Using emotions to engage readers with your characters;
• Planting hooks that make reader want to keep turning pages; and
• Making sure the critical parts of goal and motivation are clear.

You’ll be proudly submitting your first chapter in no time.
