Must be registered for the conference to attend breakout workshops.
Join Agent and writer Tommy Dean for a deep dive into the first page of today’s most gripping novels to determine how these authors hook and intrigue the reader. Tommy will show participants how the examples use action, sensory details, and a bit of mystery to enthrall and excite a reader, agent, or editor. We’ll look at model texts and hopefully get inspired by the writing prompts! Examples of the first pages will come from Gillian McAllister, Eric Puchner, S. A. Cosby, Harlan Coben, Liz Moore, Percival Everett, and more!
