#amwriting With Jess & Kj

It’s the second Booklab: First Pages episode! At some point, these episodes will go out only to our fellow Stickers—supporters of the podcast. Want to join that crew, where you’ll be able to send in your own first page for the pod, join write-alongs and get AMAs from our hosts and guest book coaches? I’m a sticker! Or I want to be. Also I get that y’all need support to get this out here and I love that it’s here so yeah. Subscribe here On today’s episode, we discuss the first pages of Title Redacted, a novel and Welcome to Heaven, an upper middle grade novel. Would we turn the page? Opinions are mixed, but good advice for improving—these first pages and yours—abounds. THANK YOU to the writers willing to submit their work for our discussion. Did you like First pages? Have ideas for how we can make it better? We’d love to hear it and we’ll talk back, so comment away. We offered some comps to our first submitter: Whip Smart, Melissa Febos I Love a Man in Uniform, Lily Burana A Certain Appeal, Vanessa Kin
