In this episode of Storybeast, co-hosts Courtney and Ghabiba discuss the power and importance of beginnings.

You’ll hear about:

The dynamic relationship between creating stories and their impact on the creator. 

How a good hook reels Courtney in.

Examples of good beginnings and how they relate to endings. Special mentions are V.E. Scwhab’s The Invisible Life of Addie Larue, N.K. Jemisin’s the Fifth Season, and Avatar the Last Airbender.
