Is your book’s opening pulling readers in—or pushing them away?

In this episode of The Tarryn Reeves Show, we’re diving into the crucial first moments of your non-fiction book and uncovering the biggest mistakes that sabotage reader engagement (and what to do instead). Whether you’re an entrepreneur writing to grow your brand or a thought leader ready to share your story, your book’s first page matters more than you think.

You’ll learn:

  • Why info-dumping your life story is a rookie mistake
  • How to build trust before you start teaching
  • The fastest way to lose a reader (and how to win them back)
  • What your opening must include to position you as an authority
  • Real examples from successful author openings that actually work

Plus, I’ll share practical writing tips you can use today to instantly improve your book’s intro and make sure it works for your business—not against it.
