How to Write an Effective Opening Line for Your Novel 

Here's what I think makes a great opening line, and my thoughts on how to write an opening that will hook your reader from the beginning.
The opening of your book, the beginning of any story really, can be the most difficult part for a writer. Setting the reader's expectation in your opening is a difficult task, but if done right, it can set the tone for an entire novel.
The opening of your book should give the reader an idea of what your book is going to be. There's a lot to pack into an opening, setting, characters, the start of the plot itself. Including all of that, while still making your opening enticing and interesting to read, is one heck of a job.

The most important thing when you're new to writing is to keep writing. Keep putting down words, paragraphs, plots, characters. You will learn as you go, and you can use the experience of the writing community to fill in the gaps where you're not sure.
Writing is my passion, and I love to support other writers and help them develop their writing along with me. I want to help you tell your best stories.
