Super Writers’ Tuesday: How to Hook Your Readers

Hi,  @David Farland  here to talk to you about hooking your readers.

Every Tuesday I’ll be answering questions from authors like yourself about the writing craft.

Today’s question comes from a member of my daily e-mails who asks, “How many hooks would be too many for an opening scene in an upper middle grade book?”

James A. Owen is founder and executive director of the art and design studio Coppervale International. James has written and illustrated two dozen StarChild comics, the award-winning MythWorld series of novels, the bestselling series The Chronicles of the Imaginarium Geographica, the inspirational nonfiction trilogy The Meditations, and more. More than a million copies of his publications are in print, and are sold all over the world. 

Kay Kenyon is an American science fiction and fantasy writer currently living in Wenatchee, Washington. She wrote “The Entire and the Rose” and “Dark Talents” book series.
