About this event

Hook, line, and heartbeat: write openings that reach right in and grab the reader by their beating heart.

Great openings don’t start with the weather. They start with something we wonder about and someone we can’t help rooting for. Inspired by Donald Maass’s The Emotional Craft of Fiction, learn how personal and public stakes collide. You’ll draft an opening that makes readers need to know what happens next.
