Opening Hooks
"'A good book cover makes you want to pick it up. End of story.' More often then not, however, a gripping first sentence or paragraph prevents you from putting it back down."
That's what Grodworks new project is about, Opening Hooks. A collection of great opening hooks from as many titles, authors, and genres as possible. Go and contribute to this great new project.
