Starting a story Anonymous 2016-07-24 22:52:01 Post No. 8317290 [Report]

I am not sure where to start my story about a human that gets abducted at a young age and is train to fight Gladiator style in an intergalactic Colosseum, he later escapes and becomes a pirate. Should i start with a prologue chapter explaining the abduction and 15-20 years of training, escaping, and abuse or skip right into the action with a debut fight?

I want it to be a long book and possibly a series of books so I was originally going with the prologue but I wasn't sure how to start the prologue.

You can probably jump straight into the Debut fight and just let there be little flashbacks of his past as he goes along (that can help as fuel for his rebellion), and say you can end the first book with his escape

How does that sound?

I like it, thank you. Do you think a publisher would buy the book based off of the synopsis given?

It's definitely marketable, but like anon says just write it for yourself first and foremost.
