Your workflow

Bring the whole teaser

Review and rebuild
Read the diagnosis and decide which revised direction fits the book.
A concrete example
See what the workflow looks like.
Our deliberately vague example starts “A magical book. A dangerous secret.” A more specific brief names Mara, her erased brother, and the price of recovering him. No real performance metrics are claimed for the example.
Screenshots show the actual app interface. Book and author examples are fictional. Setup screens are labeled separately from generated results; interface details may vary by edition.

The Hook Graveyard helps you examine a teaser that did not land. Bring the opening, caption, body, and call to action, then add the platform, genre, goal, and any real observations you have. Context makes the diagnosis more useful. Our deliberately vague example begins, a magical book, a dangerous secret. A more specific direction names Mara, her erased brother, and the price of restoring him. This is an illustrative revision, not a measured result or an app-generated diagnosis. After running the analysis, choose a revision that fits your book and test it in your actual context. Basic access is free; AI usage may cost extra. Hook Sanctum is the paid upgrade. HookHero is a separate tool for generating new promotional hooks.
