Writing a compelling opening chapter is the first important task you have to do when you start writing a story. The chapter, as we all know, is very important. Editors judge books upon it. If the opening chapter fails to hook them, the manuscript isn’t published. Rejection letter.

You can learn how. I will teach you how.
