EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
If your first chapter doesn’t grab an agent or editor’s eye, then they won’t read on. This class analyzes what it takes to write a great opening sentence and opening chapter in order to guarantee that people will want to read more. Spend 8 hours with master teacher, Prof. Richard Krevolin and learn the secrets behind writing that grabs the attention of readers, agents and editors. Learn how to create real page turners with dynamic dialogue, surprising plots and compelling characters. Like all SEAK training, this workshop will be lively and interactive. Attendees will have the opportunity to get all their questions answered. There will be video examples and networking opportunities, and most importantly, the class will watch as Prof. Krevolin analyzes and edits ordinary first chapters and turns them into killer first chapters. Pre-Class Homework: Attendees are invited to submit a PDF file of their first chapter to be analyzed in class. Please understand that all submissions are not guaranteed to be critiqued during the seminar and all feedback is designed to be instructive and constructive, not destructive.
