Where do we begin...?

Just like the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, the novel of a thousand pages will begin with a single sentence. It's the most important aspect of your writing and can be the dealbreaker as to whether a reader continues to enjoy your story, or puts it aside and reaches for something else. This short course looks at how to craft a compelling introduction.
