First Page MISTAKES New Writers Make ❌ avoid these cringey clichés!

Here’s the scary truth: your first page is either going to MAKE or BREAK your book. Let's face it: your reader will judge your story based on what they see on this first page, and if you don’t pull them in… they'll probably close the book and move on to something else. It’s a lot of pressure! That’s why, in this video, we’re breaking down the DO’s and DON’Ts of page one. Common mistakes new writers make that doom their book from the start… and how to avoid these pitfalls to make your first page truly explosive and unputdownable (with side-by-side examples of good vs bad story hooks!)

Story isn’t about “what happens” — it’s about how what happens affects and transforms the characters. I believe that there is an exact science (a recipe, if you will) behind a perfect story. And if you know what ingredients you need, you can create your own perfect story with ease and confidence. That’s what we talk about every week on this channel – and if it’s something you’re into, be sure to subscribe and join this community!
