Welcome to Mastering the 10 Universal Hooks!
In this course I take the 10 Most Universal Hooks and break them down so you not only learn what each hook is, but how to create or improve your own. I use examples from published authors and writing students, writing in all genres to clearly show you what a hook can do in a story, how to recognize when a hook works and when it doesn't, and what to do about it. There are 11 different modules, one for each of the 10 most Universal Hooks, plus a bonus module focusing solely on where to place hooks for the greatest impact in YOUR story.

As writers we all know we need "hooks" in our books, but we don't necessarily know how to use them. Mary gives great examples for each type of hook and how and where to use them.
