Class Description:

In this competitive market and fast-moving world, the vast majority of
readers are not going to spend the time `sinking into' a good book, not
unless it has a powerful opening that really hooks them and promises great
drama. This 2 week class will discuss specific, simple strategies for
writing powerful openings that hook the reader-be it an agent, an editor, or
a reader-and don't let go.

Bio:
Psychotherapist, mom, wife and writer, Kris Kennedy doesn't have much time
for anything. Including reading. A story opening has to absolutely grab her
for her to keep reading. She's been working to hone these skills and
strategies to help make her own book potent from the very first work. Kris
won RWA's Golden Heart® for Best Historical Novel in `08. Her debut book,
THE CONQUEROR, came out in May `09, and her second THE IRISH WARRIOR, winner
of the `08 GH, comes out in June, from Kensington. She recently signed
another 2 book contract with Pocket.

Format: Course is conducted via Yahoo Groups email with lessons and Q&A. You
