SUMMARY:The First 50 Pages: Craft a Submission-Ready Opening
DESCRIPTION:This course is designed to help young adult writers shape those pages into an unputdownable introduction that is ready for consideration by industry professionals. Over four weeks\, participants will focus on the essential elements that make for strong opening pages\, including narrative momentum\, character and voice\, and line-level clarity—with each session combining craft discussion and targeted revision strategies. The final session will function as a guided workshop in which participants exchange and discuss their first ten pages\, applying the tools from earlier sessions while learning how to give and receive productive\, professional feedback. By the end of the course\, each writer will have a stronger\, more polished opening and a clear understanding of how to continue refining their manuscript for submission. To effectively participate in this course\, writers should have already written at least fifty pages of their manuscript and be ready to begin working with those pages on day one.
