Sara: That’s a great question and thanks for inviting me here today! How important is a first line to you as an agent? Today, I am proud to share Literary Agent, Sara Megibow’s perspective on what’s important in those critical first pages.Īmy: Many writers have the impression that a great first line is imperative to drawing in the reader. The First Five Frenzy is all about getting an agent’s perspective on what works, and what fails, in those first pages of a manuscript. By reading each agent’s comments, I hope you’ll learn how to make your manuscript a shining gem that will be requested time and time again. You examine the next few paragraphs, hoping your MC’s voice is already taking hold of the reader. You look at the first lines to make sure they are compelling and tight. If you’re like me, you toil for hours editing and fine-tuning the first pages of your manuscript.
