Readers' attention spans are shorter than ever. If you don't grab and hold their attention within the first few pages, you've already lost them. The same goes for literary agents looking for submissions that grip them from the very first paragraph.

There's so much heavy lifting your opening pages need to do in terms of:
Setting the tone
Introducing the kinds of characters that readers want to go on a journey with
Establishing pacing
Creating tension
Setting up worldbuilding
Tipping the dominoes with a story-forward plot
Making the reader actively curious
Learn how to hook your readers through masterful storytelling, and what pitfalls to avoid. This session is participatory, involving prompt-based writing.
