You’ve written a strong query and been asked to submit a synopsis and a certain number of pages and chapters. Or, you’ve decided to self-publish and, after hiring a copy editor and a proofreader, you’re ready to go to print. BUT WAIT! Will your first pages do their job—make your reader keep turning pages? Will they sell your book or get you a rejection? This webinar will focus on: 1. Why your novel’s (or memoir’s) first pages are so important. 2. What needs to be there (and what doesn’t). 3. Opening scenes for different genres. 4. To prologue or not to prologue. This webinar will also include a checklist for your first pages.
