We welcome literary agents Elizabeth Copps and Maeve Maclysaght of Copps Literary Services for a discussion on what you should, or should not, have in your first page. With the aid of three anonymous submissions, Elizabeth and Maeve also breakdown how the pages caught their attention, or where the writer might need some additional work.

The first page is vital to your submissions to agents and editors, so take this opportunity to learn how to get it right!
