I love writing so much I’ve dedicated my life to exploring, understanding, and teaching story craft.
I’m Alida Winternheimer. You know me from A Room Full of Books & Pencils! And, you’ve maybe listened to some of my 300+ episodes of the Story Works Round Table podcast, where I have conversations about craft.
I’d like to invite you to join me in a mini writing workshop, called Beyond the Hook. In this FREE, 1-hour workshop, I’m going to tell you how to keep your readers reading after your novel’s opening hook.
We live in an attention-grabbing world full of hooks ‘n bait. An opening hook that catches a reader’s eye is great, but we’re writing books. We don’t need 15 seconds of attention. We need hours of it.
In one hour, for free, I’m going to show you the 3 things you need in your opening scene to get your reader Beyond the Hook. I’ve got a writing exercise for you to bring it all home so you can put this story craft knowledge to use right away, and this is a LIVE mini workshop, not a webinar, so it’s interactive, and we’ll absolutely have time to answer your questions.
If you know any writers who’d benefit from this, please share this post.
Register and get the link at www.wordessential.com/workshops, and I’ll see you August 26th. It’s live. It’s free, And I’d love to see you take your readers Beyond the Hook!
