The first fifty pages of a novel can be the difference between readers continuing your story or putting it down. In this class, we'll explore the importance of hooking your reader.
Local author Deanna Adams will assist you with your novel details, including introducing your characters and the story problem and incorporating the necessary information that propels the novel forward. Deanna will read examples from novels with great beginnings, and discussions will follow.
