Keep in mind that you have to hook your reader from the very beginning. Ask yourself, “ Is my most interesting, important material at the beginning?”  Even though some people may look at the end of the book, more people will read the beginning. Engage them immediately. A genuine teaser, a hint of what’s coming, written compellingly within the first sentence will pull your reader into your story.

These first sentences set their expectations for what’s ahead. Then, when written well with the right pacing, you’ll have them.

Enjoy!
