Writing Workshop with Kylie Orr: Write a Killer Opening Chapter - Rosebud

In this energising, practical workshop, Kylie Orr takes participants deep into the art of the all-important beginning. Learn how to make your opening irresistible, introduce characters and stakes without the dreaded info-dump, and establish tone and genre from the very first paragraph.

Using a mix of examples, industry insights, and in-session writing, you’ll leave with sharper skills, a stronger opening, and a toolkit to keep readers turning the page.

Topics include:

• What agents and publishers look for in opening pages
• Nailing tone, genre, and stakes early
• Balancing action, character, and world-building
• Avoiding common first-chapter pitfalls

Free, bookings essential.
