How to Write Your Story Hook // Tips for Book First Pages

Your book's hook is an integral part of capturing your reader's attention and holding it for the rest of the story. It is what will make them turn the page and decide to keep on... or not.
So how do we write a hook that works in favor of the story? And what is it about the first page that just makes readers want to devour the rest of the novel?
These questions are exactly what this video is all about! Make sure you tell me what your favorite book hook is in the comments :)
Thanks for watching!

// ABOUT ME:
I have spent most of my life waiting to meet a witch, vampire, or at least get haunted by a ghost. In between failed seances and many questionable outfit choices, I developed a keen eye for the extra-ordinary.
When not writing, I spend my free time reading and binge-watching television shows in my pajamas. Currently, I reside in Toronto, Canada with my husband who is not a creature of the night.
I am a Scorpio and a massive advocate of leggings for pants.
