Masterclass: You Had Me at Hello: Writing an Effective Opening

Event Timeslots (1)

Conf. II
8:00 am - 11:50 am
Heather Webb
(This class is a paid add-on) Learn what makes an opening grabby—or trite—and how to win the agent’s or the editor’s eye for which you’re vying. We’ll look at first lines, clichés, and techniques for making opening pages appealing. Attendees may submit pages ahead of time for feedback from the instructor and should bring those pages for real-time critique with peers.
