You’ve heard this question asked numerous times: what’s the hook of your project? In this class agent Jessica Watterson will go over what exactly a “hook” is and why it’s so important in all the things you write!
From your pitch to your complete manuscript, we’ll cover what constitutes a hook rather than a trope, and how to enhance your hook so that your story stands out from the pack.
In addition to learning what the heck a hook even is, you’ll learn about how to take that hook and create your elevator pitch from it in order to make agents and editors need to read your project!
