Unlock the Secret Hook That Transforms Self-Published Books into Bestsellers – Gary Sturgis Reveals How!
What is a Hook?
A hook is a brief, intriguing summary of your book that speaks directly to your target audience. It addresses their fears, aspirations, or curiosity, making them want to know more. Unlike the main plot or conflict, a hook is designed to be a single, memorable line that encapsulates the essence of your story in a way that resonates with readers.
A hook can also be something that identifies you as an author in a unique way. My books are about grief and loss and I chose to use a ‘life ring’ as the visual hook on the cover of my books to symbolize what it feels like when a reader is experiencing the loss of a loved one, and searching for help. This ‘life ring’ now sets me apart from all the other authors that have written books on the same topic.
