Writing Engaging Opening Pages
At the beginning of a novel, an author must hook the reader (whether the reader is an agent, editor, or the final reader). Middle grade author Sylvia Liu will share the key elements that opening lines, scenes, and chapters should include to engage a reader. She will provide craft tips and share examples of successful openings. Participants will have an opportunity to share their opening paragraphs for critiques.
