Summary: We speak with agent John M. Cusick of Folio Literary Management about great first lines, what they can do for your work--and how they can make a good first impression that will stick with your reader, whether in a bookstore or in the slush pile. John's class is available (with our full library of classes) at ManuscriptAcademy.com. You can find him online at JohnMCusick.com, or at https://twitter.com/johnmcusick
