Fiction authors looking for the latest information on creating pages that readers can’t put down can register to attend Mary Buckham’s Power Up Your Page With Hooks scheduled for February 3, 2015.
Mary Buckham, USA Today Bestselling Author, will dissect the first page submitted by seven lucky writers, writing in a variety of genres, to show everyone how to analyze their own work, where to power up hooks on the page, and ways to improve that key first page for readers.
Hooks help guide the reader deeper and deeper into the book. They are road signs that intentionally entice and direct them to turn the page and keep reading. The intention of the first line of a book is to get the second line read. The intention of the second line is to compel the reader to read until the end of the first paragraph. The intention of the first paragraph is to get the first page read. The intention of the end of the first page is to get the reader to turn the page and keep going.

When asked about the reasons behind creating this event, the host of the event, Mary Buckham said:
“Story tellers need to understand and embrace elements of their craft—characterization, plotting, point of view, dialogue and more—but if readers aren’t saying —’I couldn’t put it down’—what’s missing is a comprehensive understanding of the power of hooks.”
