Face to Face: First Pages

This event is completely free to attend! However, if you enjoy the session and would like to support a good cause, we’d welcome donations to Mencap. Your contribution could help provide tailored, in depth information and advice to the family of a person with a learning disability.

First pages matter. As readers, we want a first page to draw us in, intrigue us and compel us to read on. So how best to achieve this, as writers? A good first page doesn't try to do everything. In fact, it might focus on doing one thing really well. In this workshop we'll discuss what makes a great first page, and why, using examples supplied by Judith. We also invite 15 participants to send their own first pages to Judith for a line or two of constructive, supportive feedback to take away on the day. No more than 400 words, please!
