Terrific episode on finding the hook
Carly, Cece and Bianca were on tip-top form in this episode (season 19 ep 2) which I’ve rewound several times. I’d sum it up like this (btw they were so much nicer!): Don’t suppress what your story wants to be because you’re afraid of genre pigeon-holing. Listen to what your story is telling you - this is the way to find the hook especially if it’s buried under a thematic mulch. The hook is essential in structuring an effective query letter - and probably your novel too. Five stars for the team (and for the brave, if slightly resistant, author.)

This has quickly become one of my favorite podcasts. For those who are querying, the Books with Hooks segment is invaluable. There are so many great conversations with authors too. Bianca, the host, is charming and witty, as are her co-hosts, agents Cecilia and Carly. Highly recommend! Steve M
