In this hands-on free workshop with Angie Hodapp, we’ll explore what agents are looking for in your opening pages and how to craft evocative beginnings that get your full manuscript read.

You’ll learn:

• The importance of establishing character, setting, and voice on page one
• How your opening image or scene should relate to your story’s overall structure
• How to introduce story questions that entice rather than confuse the reader
• How to recognize and avoid cliché openings
• What starting in medias res really means—and, more importantly, what it doesn’t mean.
