I’m excited to announce an upcoming free live webinar with award-winning author and writing teacher, Bonnie Johnston, about scenes and specifically scene openings.

Scenes are the building blocks of story; and if you can understand how scenes work, and don’t work, you’re a long way to writing successful stories.

What do great scene openings have in common?

How can you be confident that the first sentence or two of your scene will hook your readers and reel them in?

Discover the answers in this upcoming webinar.

Sneak Peek

I interviewed Bonnie recently as she took apart a great scene opening, a mediocre scene opening, and a dysfunctional scene opening — all so we can understand how to write a good one — or fix a bad one. PS. I have short hair now. 🙂
