Write the fantasy novel readers lose sleep over—
and immediately need their best friend to read.

The 3 storytelling shifts you can start using TODAY to make your fantasy novel unputdownable.

Without chasing trends, writing to market, or sacrificing the story YOU want to tell.

These 3 easy-peasy storytelling shifts will help you:

  • Write characters readers get ridiculously attached to and genuinely miss when the book ends.
  • Make readers NEED to know what happens next so closing the book suddenly feels impossible.
  • Pull readers so completely into your fantasy world they forget they're reading words on a page.
  • Make the kiss, betrayal, death, reveal, and final battle hit exactly as hard as it does in your head.
  • Create a book that gets reviews saying "I couldn't put it down."

I Wish Someone Had Taught Me This Before I Wrote 30+ Fantasy Novels

Some of my old manuscripts

Here's the truth…

I spent 20 years writing and rewriting fantasy novels. Then 3 years querying 1,783 literary agents trying to traditionally publish them.

And every rejection kept saying:

"I'm just not connecting with the story."

I thought if I kept writing, kept practicing, and told the stories I wanted to tell, eventually I'd write the next Harry Potter.

What I didn't realize?

I knew how I felt about my story. I hadn't learned how to make the READER feel it.

So I became obsessed with what makes readers care, get curious, and CONNECT.

And FINALLY…

My books started getting reviews like:

Five star review from Allan
Five star review from Tim S.

That's not because I wrote more.

It's because I learned how to make the READER feel the story too.

Who Is This For?

  • Fantasy writers who have rewritten Chapter One approximately 47 times because something still doesn't feel right.
  • Who can build an entire magic system, character backstory, royal bloodline, and map… but aren't as sure how to make readers CARE about the people living in it.
  • Who get halfway through their draft and suddenly start questioning the plot, changing direction, or wondering if the whole freaking story is actually working.
  • Who are writing their first fantasy novel—or their tenth— and want readers obsessed enough to keep turning pages, lose sleep, and immediately shove the book at their best friend.
  • Who are ready to learn from a fantasy author who spent 20 years figuring out how to make readers connect with a story— so they don't freaking have to.

Well, Hi! 👋

Abby Arthur laughing with a book

I'm Abby.

I've been writing fantasy novels since 2006—including 30+ manuscripts and querying 1,783 literary agents trying to traditionally publish them.

Then in 2021, I stopped just writing more and became obsessed with figuring out why I kept hearing:

"I'm just not connecting with the story."

I learned what makes readers care, get curious, and keep reading. And it completely changed the way I write.

Today, I have 5 published fantasy novels with reviews like:

Hook Your Fantasy Reader™ is me handing you the storytelling shifts I wish someone had handed me 20 years ago.

Amazon review: Love the style of this book

If you KNOW your fantasy story could be incredible, but it still doesn't FEEL the way you want it to, something's missing. 👀

(And it's not another aimless rewrite, I promise.)

Get inside, and I'll show you how to make your story hit the way you've always imagined.
