Essentially, the HOOK ME Contest focuses on the opening of your book. You have to grab the attention of editors/agents/bookstore browsers in the first five minutes (if they even give you that much time!) and persuade them to keep reading.

There are two prizes available, along with winners' names being announced here on the main loop and posted on our web site.DEADLINE: October 31, with winners announced at the beginning of December.
