How Many Hook'ers love your book? Want to find out?

Today is the big day! Yippee! It's launch day.

Me and two of my closest writing buddies, friends, and the best darn critique partners a person could ask for, decided to create a group blog together. Fun, right? Totally. It's going to be awesome (once people know we exist  that is).

So what does our group blog called Ready, Aim, Hook Me have to offer that you just can't get anywhere else? Well, let me tell you. First of all, what about an opportunity to have your writing reviewed, whether for the sake of feedback on your finished manuscript or a full-fledged review on Amazon or Smashwords, by three women at one time? Here's the thing that makes us different--we won't give negative reviews EVER. No one gets hurt that way. Our purpose isn't to tear writers down. So no one has anything to lose.

But that doesn't mean we'll put our name on just anything either. You will really have to hook us and draw us in. If you can do that, pull us in from the first page and continue to keep at least two of us intrigued all the way to the end, then we will provide you with a review on your blog, Amazon, or Smashwords site. Wouldn't you love to put on your blog a tag line that says, 2 out of 3 Hook'ers Love my Book! Isn't that awesome? Or better yet, 3 out of 3 Hook'ers Love my Book! (Only the best of the best will get that amazing tag to put on their website. We might be hook'ers but we're not easy).

Regardless, everyone will receive some type of feedback on their story, and don't we all crave that? I know I do. I live for it. I can tell you right now, Kacey and D.S. are amazing. They are tough (you can go and read their pages on our group blog to learn more), but they have helped me improve my own writing 100 fold. I kid you not. They're not afraid to tell me that I'm "beating them over the head" with a concept (actual words) or that a chapter I've slaved over just doesn't work. They've got my back and refuse to let me write anything less than what I'm capable of.

If you can get us to say we love your book--Self-published, Indy, Traditional, or your completed manuscript--that means something. We don't review just to review (I know many blogs where they will say how wonderful a book is simple to do so--a favor to the author, if you will). That's not us. If we tell you the book is awesome, you can better darn believe it is. We hope to build our name and reputation as reliable, honest reviewers.

Besides doing reviews and critiques, we will also give writing tips on how best to hook not only us, but hopefully help you hook an agent and a slew of readers as well. That's our goal. (We'll probably gossip about each other too. Well, that's my plan anyway).

We are looking for submissions and followers, as well. I promise you (pinky swear) that it will be fun and insightful over at Ready, Aim, Hook Me. With three crazy, tough ladies, how can it be anything but?

Go show us some love. Thanks guys. MU-AH. I appreciate the support.
