Did you know that agents and publishers often decide if they like a manuscript within just a few pages? The opening of your manuscript are where you establish your voice, the tone, the point of view, and your characters. And the opening pages are where you hook the reader and get them emotionally invested in your story so they feel like they can't put the manuscript down.
Join Char Dreyer (Assistant Editor at St. Martin's Publishing Group) for this clinic to get feedback on how to make your opening 10 pages shine!
This Clinic Will Cover:
- POV
- Voice
- Tone
- Feedback on your pages
After graduating from Kenyon College, Char collected lots of work and life experience. These includes but are not limited to: podcast production, soccer coaching, bookselling, bamboo cabin building, working at a non-profit, living in Chile, Spain, and Mexico, 30 day thru-hiking, and sheep farming. She joined St. Martin’s Publishing Group in 2024, where she assists Eileen Rothschild, Associate Publisher for Wednesday and Saturday Books, and is actively building her own list. She focuses on cinematic, plotty, fast-paced fiction. Since her Saturn is returning, she is making a big life change by moving to Vermont, where she intends to spend every second outside gardening, swimming, biking, playing soccer, or reading in the sun.
