Welcome to our free monthly virtual workshop series on writing - Beyond the Blank Page.
This dynamic series is crafted for writers at all stages of their creative journey, offering a dedicated space for inspiration, professional guidance, and the cultivation of connections within a vibrant community of wordsmiths.
📍 TOPIC: The First Five Pages: A Deep Dive into Strong Openings
What to Expect in this Workshop:
The first five pages of your novel are more than just an introduction—they are the foundation upon which your entire story stands. They set the tone, establish the world, and introduce characters in a way that either grips readers or loses them. But what makes an opening truly compelling? How do you strike the right balance between intrigue and clarity?
In this workshop, we’ll take a deep dive into the art of crafting a captivating opening that immediately draws readers in and keeps them turning the pages. Through editorial guidance, hands-on techniques, and interactive discussions, we’ll explore the essential elements of a strong beginning, including:
📍 Setting the Tone and Atmosphere - Create a world that feels immersive and immediately pulls readers into your story.
📍 Introducing Characters with Depth and Purpose - Make your protagonist (and supporting characters) unforgettable from their very first appearance.
📍 Weaving in Conflict and Intrigue Without Info-Dumping - Keep readers engaged without overwhelming them with exposition.
📍 Crafting a Compelling First Sentence - Hook readers from the very first line and set the stage for what’s to come.
🎁 Exclusive Offer for Attendees
