Your opening chapters are a book’s first date with a reader! They’re going to make decisions on if this is the right match for them based on their first impressions. So how do we write engaging, enticing, informative first chapters that set up your story, your characters and keep readers reading?
In this workshop, we’ll discuss all the factors that go into creating a smart and effective start to your book.
How much information is too much? Not enough?
Are you starting in the right place in your timeline?
What are genre expectations?
How are your readers emotionally engaging with your story and your characters?
We’ll also touch on additional topics such as POV, red herrings, worldbuilding and more!
