It all starts with the first line. In this relaunch episode of Beyond The Page , host Lora Tia breaks down what makes a first chapter hook a reader, and what makes us quietly DNF and scroll on. From iconic opening lines to the emotional power of strong character work, this episode is part craft, part pep talk, and 100% rooted in the love of indie storytelling.
