Writer’s Wednesday – Captivating First Chapters

Join us for an engaging evening dedicated to the art of crafting a knockout first chapter. We’ll discuss first-chapter mistakes to avoid, ways to develop an irresistible hook, and practical tips to ensure your story grips readers from page one.

What to Expect:

• An open discussion on common first-chapter pitfalls and how to avoid them.
• Exercises to identify your novel’s central hook.
• A short workshop segment where we review and offer feedback on each other’s opening lines.

Who Should Attend:
This event is open to all fiction writers looking to improve their novel’s opening, as well as those simply interested in learning about hooking readers from the very start.
What to Bring:

• A printed or digital copy of your current first chapter or opening scene (if you have one).
• Notebook or laptop for note-taking.
• Your enthusiasm and readiness to share!
