Quick Tips to Craft Irresistible Book Openings
Manage episode 421156244 series 3391468
Ever wonder why some books grab you from the first line, while others fail to spark your interest?
This week's quick tips are all about the opening hook.
Tip #1: Some people never read past the first paragraph, let alone the first page. Make it count!
Tip #2: Know the difference between in medias res and place en scene. Choose your start carefully.
We will be taking a break for the summer, so we're turning off paid sponsorships. Make sure you subscribe on your favorite podcast player so you don't miss out when we come back on the air!
Plus, there might be a few summer surprises headed your way as well!
In the meantime, if you’re enjoying this podcast, please consider supporting the show by leaving a five star review and sharing it with a writer friend. We don't advertise, so our growth is entirely dependent on word of mouth.
