If you missed last night's twitter chat with the superb editors @CornerstonesLit worth checking out their self-editing tips for opening pages and synopses on the hashtag #BNAtips
Distill it to the primary timeline and character. For the synopsis's sake, focus on the core STORYline and characters. Any other timelines (subplots?) can be threaded into your synopsis with one or two sentences. #BNATips

That flew by and we're almost out of time - have we missed anybody's question? @cornerstoneslit #BNAtips
Be true to your character's voice! Avoid exposition or info-dumping. Listen to the way people talk— don't emulate the "umms" and "ahhhs" of real-life dialogue, but try to emulate the natural flow of conversation, how people build sentences and communicate. #BNATips
Let's talk dialogue - any tips on striking the balance between naturalism and purpose? @CornerstonesLit #BNAtips
Historical is a little different because it's fairly reliant on style— so as long as your voice and style are enveloping the reader, bringing the world to life, you'll do absolutely fine! #BNATips
Ensure that every scene has earned its place. Think Show Not Tell: submerge the reader in the story and allow them to make their own connections. Scenes can be quiet (of course!) but still full of conflict and tension. #BNATips
@BathNovelAward @CornerstonesLit Can I sneak in one more? It’s on pacing. Struggling to do justice to the speedy scenes. Any tips on how to make them not feel obviously like filler? All is pretty slow as I’m writing an historical novel - can it ever get too slow? Sorry that’s more than one isn’t it 😔
Ah— a question we get asked fairly often! But an author can never determine crossover appeal. It's something that emerges once the book is published. (However, in many ways, YA has a huge adult readership anyway.) #BNATips
What's the secret of creating a YA with crossover (teen and adult reader) appeal do you think? #BNAtips @CornerstonesLit

Daphne du Maurier's "Rebecca"; JKR's "Harry Potter". The best opening lines are an invitation that hook the reader into the story. They pose a question: Who is the character? What is the emotional dilemma? Suggestive and seductive and piques the imagination. #BNATips
Can you remember some of the best opening lines you've ever read? What was so great about them and why did they stick in your memory? What tips can you give about writing epic opening lines? #BNAtips @CornerstonesLit
