Question for you: where can I find a concise statement of how you define the ‘hook’ for the query letter? I’ve only been listening for about eight months, and I’m sure it’s one of those things you established very early on in the podcast and do t address regularly. Thank you in advance!

Hi Beth! Thanks so much for listening!
Here’s a post of ours about hooks that might help https://www.instagram.com/p/C6n-ObCLBSX/?igsh=cG1nNDRnN2JhNmx6. This is where the hooks are from https://www.writersdigest.com/getting-published/examples-of-book-hooks-elevator-pitches
