Have you ever picked up a book in the bookstore, read the first paragraph, and then put it right back on the shelf? Readers need to be hooked from the start, but many authors find beginnings challenging.
Join us as we take a look at what makes for an effective opening sentence/paragraph/page, analyzing examples, discussing options, and then trying our hand at fashioning these little barbs ourselves.
This workshop is presented in partnership with the Indiana Writers Center. Check out other writing workshops at library branches this spring!
