Voice Is Everything and Self-Awareness is King

Episode 490: Booklab: First pages with 2 novels and a memoir.

These episodes are often about why we wouldn’t turn the page—in this one, we’re focused on why we would. Self-awareness is key in an introduction to a story and a character, and we talk about how to thread it into your words in ways that draw a reader right into your world using, as always, the first pages of three works-in-progress submitted by listeners.


Transcript Below!

Your first page isn’t just an opening—it’s your audition. It tells agents, editors, and readers whether to sit down or walk away. Booklab helps you nail it.
