What is a hook? It is a thing at the beginning of a book that grabs the readers attention and makes him want to read more. A hook can be dropping the reader right into the action. It can be a quick snippet of dialogue. It can be a description, or an aphorism, or a bizarre statement, or an alliteration, or an introduction of the main character: "Call me Ishmael." If you are a reader, you've seen hundreds of different book openings. Some have been bad. Some have been alright. Some have been so good that you could not help yourself but continue the book.
But what if everything you knew about hooks was incorrect? What if you've been lied to your whole entire writing career, and you should look at hooks in a different way. Today, I am going to be talking about why you should change your views on hooks in books. There is a better way to use them, and you are going to thank me.
