As It Was In the Beginning---
PRESENTER: VIN DACQUINO
Have you ever read the first page or paragraph of a novel or short story and refused to
continue reading? What stopped you? How do good writers hold their readers beyond the
first page? In this workshop we will rate various beginnings of great and not so great stories,
discuss techniques to capture readers, and then write some beginnings of our own with the
help of 5 of the most basic tools of writing.
Vin Dacquino hosts his own television show called “One On One with Vin Dacquino,” aired
on Comcast’s Channel 21, Mondays from 7:00 PM to 7:30 PM and has released a new
