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.
This special two part clinic will give you the knowledge and tools to make your opening pages shine! Sign up for the webinar to attend, ask questions, and learn or the clinic to submit pages for feedback.
This Clinic Will Cover:
- POV
- Voice
- Tone
- Feedback on your pages (clinic writers only)
