Pursue your personal publishing happily-ever-after
DARA Welcomes Kris Bock - April 25th
"Fast Starts - How To Hook Your Reader"
Most editors, agents, and readers will judge a story on the first page or two. If you can’t get their attention right away, you’ve lost that opportunity. Understand the promises your first chapter makes so you promise what you deliver and deliver what you promise. Then start with a “grab you by the throat” opening to hook readers on those opening pages. Learn how here!
