Get feedback on your story opening from Jenny Q!
Your opening pages have only one job: to make the reader want to keep reading.
And there’s actually no one right way to do this. There are countless books, articles, and classes on the topic, and all of them offer valuable advice in some form or another. But there are some universal elements that every good story opener possesses. I will help you ensure your opening has them.
I will read and evaluate up to 30 pages of your story’s opening, providing comments on the text, a brief summary of your opening’s strengths and weaknesses, and my suggestions for improvement.
Follow-up discussions will take place via email. In the event that more complex revisions or considerations need to be made, we may schedule a 30-minute call to talk it through in more detail.
After you've revised your opening pages, I'll take another look to ensure you're on the right track!
