This Writers Wednesday is my opportunity to acquaint you with a wonderful new series of articles: Learning the Basics "Chapter One" at a Time - appearing at Writers In Residence and penned by Miriam Johnston.

The focus is on developing and polishing those critical first chapters that must hook editors, agents, and of course, your readers. The first installment: Presentation, appeared on Friday, November 13th. Next up will be the topic of Openings which will take a look at ways to make the most of the first paragraph.
