The First Five Pages
Whether you are a novice writer or a veteran who has already had your work published, rejection is often a frustrating reality. Literary agents and editors receive and reject hundreds of manuscripts each month.
While it’s the job of these publishing professionals to be discriminating, it’s the job of the writer to produce an unforgettable manuscript. And this must be apparent within the first five pages.
With insight and accessible advice, The First Five Pages reveals the necessary elements of good writing, whether it be fiction, nonfiction, journalism, or poetry, and points out errors to be avoided, such as a weak opening hook, uneven pacing, and more.
With exercises at the end of each chapter, this valuable reference will allow novelists, journalists, poets, and screenwriters alike to improve their technique as they learn to eliminate even the most subtle mistakes that are cause for rejection. The First Five Pages will help writers at every stage take their art to a higher—and more successful—level.
