EPISODE INFO:
The opening of your story is something we talk about a lot on, through their one-on-one and that's because it's so important.
It's not just important to get an agent's attention. It's also important to hook and hold on to readers.
Luckily, we have a debut author who balanced her opening in a way that I personally think is genius. And she's going to talk all about how she pulled it off.
