About this listen

 The first page of your story is the most important page. Those opening lines draw readers into your story, hook them on it, make them want to read on, and even allow them to put up with a scene they later find dull. Many readers won’t give you more than the first page to engage them in the story.

Given this, you must get your first 250 words or so of your story absolutely right. There’s no place for a misstep or a throwaway line.

That’s what Write Your Story’s First Page is about – getting it right.

Write Your Story’s First Page looks at the 11 must-have components of those first 250 words. These include starting in the middle of your story, writing a killer first line, introducing your protagonist, and more. Being aware of what readers need and expect from the first page of the book – even though they often aren’t aware themselves of those elements – is vital to ensuring you make the most of your story’s opener.
