If you like what you read here, there\u2019s plenty more to check out in the guide!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-hook-a-reader\">How to Hook a Reader<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As soon as the reader begins your story, they start looking for the answers to three major questions: <strong>1) Who\u2019s the story about? 2) What\u2019s the story about? 3) What\u2019s at stake here? <\/strong>If the answer to any of these three questions is missing, it doesn\u2019t matter how beautiful your prose is; the reader will not be interested in your story. Cron&#8217;s advice for how to hook a reader is to answer these questions quickly\u2014on the first page, or even in the very first sentence. Then, you can take your time presenting the rest of the details because your reader knows what to anticipate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The answers to these questions give the reader context for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-understand-anything-deeply\/\">how to understand<\/a> everything they\u2019re about to read, which, according to neuroscientific research, is how they determine meaning, or the \u201cwhy\u201d behind every piece of information. Answering these \u201cwhy\u201d questions is critical to do because humans have a natural curiosity about why any given piece of information is significant or useful to us, and having that curiosity sated is what keeps us engaged with what we\u2019re reading.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, we don\u2019t just want to know that the protagonist is getting a divorce; we want to know the specific reasons <em>why<\/em> they\u2019re getting a divorce so we can understand how the divorce will impact the protagonist and how it might affect what they\u2019re going to do next.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Hooking the Audience in Different Media<\/strong><br><br>A good hook is essential for any type of writing, but it sometimes looks different in different media. In journalism, the opening hook is called <a href=\"https:\/\/training.npr.org\/2016\/10\/12\/leads-are-hard-heres-how-to-write-a-good-one\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a lead or lede<\/a>, and it may take the form of a relevant anecdote, an important statistic, or the basic facts of the article. Regardless of the type of lede, it should provide the reader with an idea of what the article is going to be about.<br><br>In media like screenwriting, you can\u2019t always explicitly answer questions right away since you\u2019re telling the story visually, but movies and shows should always have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.masterclass.com\/articles\/screenwriting-tips-how-to-write-a-logline\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">logline<\/a>, or a one-sentence hook that introduces all the important elements the viewer needs to know for context, including the protagonist, the conflict, and the goal or stakes. A logline should ideally hook a reader before they even play the film or episode. After that, experts suggest fully introducing elements like the protagonist, the setting, and the genre <a href=\"https:\/\/industrialscripts.com\/first-ten-pages\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">within the first 10 pages<\/a>.<br><br>Whatever medium you\u2019re writing in, your hook is what makes the audience decide if they\u2019re going to devote their time and energy to what you\u2019ve written, and the more quickly and concisely you can give them the important foundational details, the more likely they are to stick with your piece.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When a reader starts to read your story, what are they looking for?
