EPISODE INFO:
 If you want the kind of opening that gets an agent's attention, you'll want to listen to what Jason Powell has to say.

The opening for his novel, No Man's Ghost opening might be the most unique one I’ve covered on the podcast and Jason will share why he thinks it works so well. 

Plus, the slight change he made with his agent to make it even stronger.

BIO:
Jason Powell is an Author and New York City Firefighter. When he isn't at the firehouse or at a desk, he can be found in the city with his back pack filled with snacks, water, a notebook and a novel. Born the youngest of 9 kids, his household of eleven people taught him to appreciate alone time and sweet escapes. He has found there is no better place to escape to than in between the covers of a book.
