You know the reader needs to be grabbed in the first chapter, ideally in the first page. However, are you ending each chapter on a cliffhanger? This device ensures that the next page is turned, next chapter is devoured.
The goal of every book is to draw the reader in and keep them. Cliffhangers leave them wanting more. Next time your chapter is drawing to a close, use a cliffhanger. Make the reader turn the page to discover the secret, betrayal or what happens next. Grab the reader and don’t let them go.
