What is the most important chapter in your novel? Some say it's the opening, others argue it's the ending, but if your opening chapter drags or puts an editor to sleep, the rest of the wonderful story that follows will never be read.

Learn the techniques to take your chapter from draggy to dynamite!

“Some agents say they can tell in the first paragraph if the piece is worth reading. They may read another few paragraphs, perhaps the entire page, but if the writer hasn't presented at least the first of the essential elements by then, off the manuscript goes with a reject stamp.

Do you know what they're looking for? Have you introduced the 5 essential elements in your opening chapter?

Brenda Hill, author of Ten Times Guilty, Plot your way to Publication, Am I Wife or Daughter, and soon to be released Beyond the Quiet, will show you how to prepare your first chapter to capture an agent or editor’s attention. http://www.brendahill.com
