How to Start Your Novel

The Prologue: helping authors craft a stronger story

Do you have a great idea for a story but aren’t sure how to start? Oftentimes, we get an idea for the climax of a book but don’t know what to write in the first few chapters.

In this episode, we are talking all about what to write at the beginning of your story. I am sharing 3 tips to figure out how to start your novel, why it’s important to know your character’s goals when you write the first few chapters, and examples of great beginnings for you to reference when thinking of what to write.
