This class on finding the hook of a novel taught by editor Raqayyah Daud @borahaze91.bsky.social was gold! So many concrete examples of great hooks from well known novels and interactive exercises to work on our own pitches. #writingworkshop

We've been looking forward to this for months! Join Ruqayyah Daud's class, The Hook of Your Book, to learn not just how to pitch your work--but how to emphasize elements in your pages that help your book stand out. Learn more here: hook-of-your-book-class.manuscriptacademy.com
