Writing instructor Daniel Powell offers important advice in his workshop, “Building the Killer Hook: How to Get—and Keep—Your Audience’s Attention,” at the FWA Ponte Vedra Writers meeting on Saturday, February 13 at 10:30 a.m. at the Ponte Vedra Library.

Most writers struggle with how to start their story, knowing they have a page or less to make a good first impression. That’s why it’s so important to hook the reader from the very first sentence. Powell’s workshop will show writers how to craft dynamic opening passages, build setting with economy and style, and create the foundation for a strong story.
