Hook

And sometimes, those hooks are more persuasive than others, but typically, they're not put before Congress."

Hook

Katie Wech Screenwriter

Hook

"I always have to start with a character that I can really hook into, and then build from there. I have writer friends who start from a world, an object or some kind of concept that they then hone and widdle into a story. But, for me, it has to be a character that I can really sink my teeth into and live with, for months and months."
