How to Write a Great First Line

 Diane Callahan, a graduate of The Ohio State University, has been a writing teacher and editor  for the past eight years. Currently, she’s a freelance developmental editor and collaborates on creating novels with Story Garden Publishing. Her YouTube channel, Quotidian Writer, explores a variety of topics related to writing fiction, including “How to Show, Not Tell,” “Creating Captivating Characters,” and, of course, “How to Write a Good First Line.”  She also   writes fiction across genres, with a focus on fantasy and contemporary fiction, as well as nonfiction and poetry. She resides in Cleveland, Ohio.

Please have a first line that captured your attention in a novel or short story you’ve read   available for discussion. Ms. Callahan will ask for volunteers to read a first line from a   favorite crime novel and share why you find it intriguing.  

Cost for Members is $5.00, Guests, $10.00; since there is no “door” at which to pay, please  go to CLICK HERE to secure your invitation.
