Write a Brilliant First Chapter
The importance of your book's first chapter can't be understated...
Tasked with welcoming a reader to your world, the first chapter should be engaging, introduce your protagonist, create a sense of place, and – most important of all – demand that people read on!
Whether it's a casual reader, an agent interested in seeing your work, or a prospective publisher, first impressions count.
With AutoCrit’s First Chapter Workshop, we cut right through the fluff and bad advice and show you how to get it right first time.
Join our two live 90-minute interactive sessions, designed to empower you with the skills needed to craft the first chapter that readers won’t soon forget!

What our Members Say About Our Courses
I've never felt so welcome and valued in a course before. Both teachers and students were so graceful towards one another from start to finish.
I enjoyed this course very much, and it has helped give me new things to think about when crafting my own work, regardless of genre. Thanks so much for putting it together!
One of the things I most wanted to improve was the scare factor and intense scenes, really building up that fear. And I thought the class helped with that a ton!
