Writer's Lab: Writing the Killer Hook

How to Get (and Keep) Your Audience's Attention

Daniel Powell presents an hour and a half hands-on workshop on how to get (and keep) your audience's attention through great opening sentences, passages, chapters, and more!

About this program: In this workshop you will discuss great opening sentences, passages, and chapters from memorable stories and have a larger discussion of pacing and organization.

Daniel Powell teaches a variety of writing courses at Florida State College at Jacksonville. He enjoys reading and writing stories across a broad spectrum of genres, but he has an affinity for horror, science fiction, and fantasy. He lives with his wife and children near the Timucuan Preserve, where you can frequently find him jogging those haunted trails.
