TRANSCRIPT on Medium: bit.ly/StrangeNorrellEssay UPDATES on Twitter: twitter.com/hownovelstarts/ — SUPPORT THE CHANNEL on Ko-fi: ko-fi.com/howthenovelstarts --- ABOUT THE CHANNEL What’s the best way to start a story? What makes readers, agents, and publishers take a chance on our book? What holds their attention? There’s plenty of advice out there on how to write a first chapter, but so much of it is generic. So I went looking for concrete examples in great books. On HOW THE NOVEL STARTS, I explore the opening chapters of popular novels, and figure out what writers can learn from them for their own work. — SOURCES AND ATTRIBUTIONS “Ghost Dance” by Kevin MacLeod freemusicarchive.org/music/Kevin_MacLeod/Classical… “Sonatina” by Kevin MacLeod freemusicarchive.org/music/Kevin_MacLeod/Classical… “Mourning Song” by Kevin MacLeod freemusicarchive.org/music/Kevin_MacLeod/Classical… “Evermore” by Kai Engel freemusicarchive.org/music/Kai_Engel/Sustains/Kai_… “Trio for Piano, Violin and Viola” by Kevin MacLeod freemusicarchive.org/music/Kevin_MacLeod/Classical… “Remedy For Melancholy” by Kai Engel freemusicarchive.org/music/Kai_Engel/Idea/Kai_Enge… “Sunset” by Kai Engel freemusicarchive.org/music/Kai_Engel/Idea/Kai_Enge… Subscribe button by AlfredoCreates: www.alfredocreates.com/youtube-subscribe-button-fr… #writing #NaNoWriMo #fantasy
