| No matter the genre or style of your writing, your first words are the key to hooking your readers (whether they are your intended audience, agents or editors). This live webinar will walk you through the steps of writing an engaging first chapter that keeps readers reading and wanting more from your story. Register today and start impressing agents and editors with your first words. |
|
| All registrants are invited to submit the first chapter of your manuscript for critique (maximum 1500 words). Please wait until after the live webinar date to submit your critique material. This allows you to make changes to your opening chapter based on the presentation and will ensure you receive the most helpful critique possible.
