We only get one shot at making a first impression.
From catching the eye of a literary agent to securing a sale from a potential reader, let us help you make your opener great!
Novel openings are some of the hardest things to get right and one of the most important things to master, but we've got your back. In this workshop, Samuel Burr, author of The Fellowship of Puzzlemakers, will discuss introducing characters (without info dumping), setting the tone and selling your voice in those crucial opening pages.
Who You Are
- A writer with a draft who wants to make sure they're nailing it before sending it out
- A writer who wants to get deeper into the craft
- A writer who's stuck rewriting the same opener again and again and needs some help to move forward
What You'll Get
An hour long interactive workshop with this year's hotest debut author (and WHQer!) to help you hook your readers in and make that opening as strong as it can be.
What You'll Learn
- Starting strong with scene setting and irresistable inciting incidents
- How to introduce characters without info dumping
- Nailing and selling your tone and voice
About Write A Novel Month
Writing a novel is hard. So let’s do it together!
Throughout June, the Writers’ HQ Write A Novel Month will give you the opportunity to explore everything you need to know about novel writing, from drafting, characterisation, editing and everything in between.
We’ll go deep and broad into craft and practice and we’re also going to challenge you to write a wild draft – that’s 1,000 words a day for the entire month of June and see what comes out the other side.
