In this episode, I look at the first page of a listener's story and suggest ways they could improve it. I cover show, don't tell, close third-person, what details you choose to focus on, and when to start your story.

My book The Game Changers: How Playing Games Changed the World and Can Change You Too is available in shops & here: uk.bookshop.org/p/books/the-game-…ean=9781805301349
