It’s the first Booklab: First pages episode! At some point, these episodes will go out only to our fellow Stickers—supporters of the podcast. Want to join that crew, where you’ll be able to send in your own first page for the pod and join the Blueprint for a Book Summer Extravaganza starting 7/2, with designated coaches, AMAs, write-alongs and everything you need to lay out a plan for the book you want to write (or revising the one you’re already writing) without drafting 100K before you even know where you want to start?
On today’s episode, we discuss the first pages of Spindrift, a memoir, and Seed, a novel. Would we turn the page? Opinions are mixed, but good advice for improving—these first pages and yours—abounds.
Did you like First pages? Have ideas for how we can make it better? We’d love to hear it and we’ll talk back, so comment away.
