### Opening Line Challenge
One Line. Make Us Read On.
Every great story has to begin somewhere.
Sometimes, one line is all it takes to make a reader want to know what happens next.
As part of our 40th Anniversary – 12 Months • 12 Ways We Give Back initiative, this month’s challenge invites writers to create an original opening line that immediately captures attention and makes the reader want to continue.
### Your challenge is simple:
Write one opening line. Make us want to read the next one.
### The Challenge
Participants are invited to write one original opening line for a story or screenplay.
Your opening line may introduce:
- A compelling character
- A surprising situation
- A mystery
- A conflict
- A dramatic moment
- A funny or unexpected moment
- A question
- A strong point of view
- A world the reader wants to explore
- Any other creative approach you choose
The goal is to create an opening that immediately gives the reader a reason to continue.
One line. One opportunity to make us read on.
