Top Takeaways that will Strengthen Your First Scene:
Capturing a reader’s attention as quickly as possible is critical, but it’s also incredibly difficult.
Most readers decide whether to continue reading or not within the first scene, yet the beginning often demands setup that lacks the excitement of later conflict and tension.
So, how do you craft an engaging opening without sacrificing the necessary groundwork?
That’s exactly what we’ll tackle in this upcoming workshop.
During the workshop, you’ll discover…
- How to structure your first scene for maximum impact so that you can hook your reader fast.
- The most effective ways to grab your readers' attention (and never let go).
- How to show the protagonist's normal world while also hooking the reader.
- And MORE!
