Without chasing trends, writing to market, or sacrificing the story YOU want to tell.
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 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:
That's not because I wrote more.
It's because I learned how to make the READER feel the story too.
Learn the specific shifts I use to make readers emotionally invest in a character, so the moments that matter later—betrayals, deaths, romances, sacrifices—actually freaking HIT.
Learn how to plant unanswered questions throughout your story that readers NEED answers to, so "one more chapter" turns into "crap, why is it 2:57 AM?"
Spot the tiny sentence and dialogue choices that can make a story feel "off"—and learn how to make your writing feel more immersive, polished, and professional.
Your reader isn't waiting until Chapter Five to care. They're putting the book down.
Meanwhile, you're rewriting Chapter One. Again. Tweaking the plot. Again. Wondering what the freaking story is missing.
Hook Your Fantasy Reader™ teaches you the 3 storytelling shifts that make readers care, get curious, and keep reading.
Give them a reason to stay from Chapter One.
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 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.
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.
