The Opening Episode

Our series on books and authoring takes a look back at - what else?  - the opening of a book.  What comes first can make all the difference, but what makes for a great opening?  And there are things before the opening - the forward, the preface, the dedication, the title, the cover.  It’s all grist for our mill, with classic openings as well as deep dives into Akhil’s own books’ kickoffs.
