SPA Girls Podcast – EP77 – Great Beginnings for Authors

Published: April 14, 2017, 7:56 a.m.

Easter is here, a time for new beginnings, so we thought we'd talk about the beginning of your book. It's always been important, but we would argue that in the days of ebooks for less than the cost of a coffee, creating a kick-ass beginning that will hook your readers into your book is VITAL! We read out a few of our favourite beginnings, plus some that are less beloved, and talk through what makes them great (or not). There are also some suggestions for the different types of beginnings you might want to try, and how to link it in to the rest of your story. If you're wondering whether the beginning of your book is as good as it can be, listen to this episode for some of the tips and tricks that we use.
