We only get one shot at making a first impression.
From catching the eye of a literary agent to securing a sale from a potential reader, let us help you make your opener great!
Novel openings are some of the hardest things to get right and one of the most important things to master, but we’ve got your back. In this workshop, Samuel Burr, author of The Fellowship of Puzzlemakers, will discuss introducing characters (without info dumping), setting the tone and selling your voice in those crucial opening pages.
