What pulls a reader in from the very first lines? What holds their imagination long after the last words of a story are read? Strong scenes made up of compelling characters, stirring emotions, and moments of discovery. During this workshop, we will consider how a captivating opening scene piques a reader’s curiosity, introduces characters, conflicts and questions that will guide the rest of the story. While an unforgettable ending, answers questions, resolves conflicts, and often speaks to something larger than simply the story itself. Through understanding the purpose of our stories, we can begin to understand what is needed to draw readers in from the very first page and hold them captive until the very last lines.
