"It has already changed my book for the better and given me a much better understanding of those opening pages!"
"This was really brilliant and came just at the right time for me. I had just written "re-read first chapter of The Hunger Games" on my to-do list before I start my edit on my first draft, and it was for this reason, but you did it so much better than I ever could. Your insight into that first chapter has been so helpful and has got me out of a one month writer's block and plotting nightmare that I just found myself in. I am so grateful I spent the time and money on this. It has already changed my book for the better and given me a much better understanding of those opening pages!"

You know that the first five pages of a story are the most important when it comes to catching a reader's attention, but...
- Every time you sit down to write, you FEEL OVERWHELMED. There's so much to set up in these first few pages, how do you fit everything in?
- So, you end up FEELING STUCK on those first few pages, and maybe you even rewrite them a bunch of times, but they still don't feel like your best work.
- Because of that, you've probably BEEN TRYING TO WRITE your story for months but you haven't made any kind of forward progress.
- Plus, you want to AVOID THE MISTAKES you’ve read about on the internet so you don’t waste your time. You want to get it “right” the first time.
- You know that if you could just get over this hump, and finish these first few pages, YOU'D BE ABLE TO FOCUS on writing the rest of your story.
If this sounds familiar, don’t feel bad. I’ve been there—and so has almost every single writer I've worked with.
What if writing the first five pages of your story could be easy and fun?
- Imagine opening new Word document, Google Doc, or notebook and NOT FEELING that horrible sense of self-doubt or fear about getting things "right"
- Imagine knowing EXACTLY what to include in your first five pages so that you no longer have to guess or scour the internet for the answers
- Imagine being able to EASILY start writing any story that comes to mind in the future—without feeling stressed or overwhelmed about where to start
There IS an easier way to tackle your story's opening pages that doesn't result in overwhelm, procrastination, and worst of all.... never finishing your book!
introducing the
First 5 Pages Workshop
Learn the five key things you need to include in the opening pages of your novel to hook a reader's interest and make them curious about what's going to happen next.
In this workshop, you'll learn:
- The 3 biggest lies that hold writers back (and how to avoid them so that you can finally make progress on your draft)
- Why the common advice of “start your story with action” doesn’t mean what you think (and what it means instead)
- The 5 things readers need to know in your opening pages so that they can feel engaged and eager to read more.
- How to plant the seeds of what’s to come starting on the first page of your story (and why this is important).
- Why you shouldn’t hold important information back from the reader with the intention of having a “big reveal” later.
- And so much more...

hey there, I'm Savannah
After many years of working with writers one-on-one (and struggling to write my own fiction) I know how overwhelming it can be to tackle those first few pages of your story. Especially when the feelings of self-doubt and perfectionism start to kick in.
But over time, I've learned a simple process for writing those first few pages that allows me (and the writers I work with) to push through overwhelm, to narrow in and focus on what's important, and to finally make progress toward a finished draft.
That's exactly what I'll be sharing in this workshop! Because I know that if I can push past the first few pages of my novel (and coach other writers to do the same), then you can do it, too.
I've helped many writers push past their first few pages and successfully finish their first drafts. And now I want to help you do the same thing...
Real writers, real results.
