The first page is often all it takes for an agent or editor to know whether to stick and read forward or not. At SD39, we’ll break out the conference gong and put some pages to the test--what works, what doesn’t, and why. #amwriting @ tinyurl.com/ofgx2zr.

Bio-graphic I wrote in the early 90s. Artwork by Ken Landgraf; lettering by Susan Dorne. In it, Lynch is put on trial to determine whether his life's work is art or abomination. Was told both he and his producing partner dug it. #davidlynch
