Agents' real hooks – well worth a look

[E G Logan]

The Bookseller today has a feature, Frankfurt 2022: agents' hotlists. (I'm not posting a link because it may be fire-walled – I have a subscription – but try to see it.)

I found it fascinating, a genuine, professional master class in Writing A Hook. (Mine is much too wordy – I see that now.)

Also useful in showing what certain agents do actively represent – contrast with the tiresome vague general waffle they put on their web bio.

Plus it's a snapshot of what genres are big at the moment – psychological thrillers still in there, Gothic is hot...

Sci-Fi isn't doing well

Fascinating! I shall be reviewing my hooks very carefully from now on.

I know I'm quite late to this thread, but I'd love to read the article. Not sure how to find it?

I haven't read it either as I don't subscribe to the Bookseller and it won't let me.
