Start where the action is. A major difference between beginning writers and seasoned authors is knowledge on how to hook the reader immediately. Almost every submission we receive starts approximately three chapters deeper than the author first imagines. So, write that background, if it helps, but then delete, delete, delete (or move it to a separate file if you can’t bear to let go completely.) Hook us from page one, and you’ve (or we’ve) got a keeper!

Until next time, with much love,
