2:10 task walkthrough
Follow one useful task, then try it with your own material.
New: actual HookHero run. 2:15 with captions, review decisions and written steps. Watch the actual app demo →
Step 1
Start with one scene that contains a clear conflict or charged image. A specific moment gives HookHero more to work with than a vague description of the whole book. In this prepared example, the source is a fictional gothic archive scene. We will follow the workflow from source material to a small set of hooks worth reviewing. This is a guided screen reference, not a live generation recording.
Step 2
Open the full app through My Library with the access your purchase or membership includes. HookHero Lite is a separate starting option. For AI generation, connect a supported provider and select an available model. API usage is billed by that provider. A chat subscription and an API balance are different things. Never put an API key in your story text, screenshots, or shared notes.
Step 3
Paste the scene, premise, chapter summary, or other source you want to market. You can also use the selected Book DNA for richer context. Check the active book before generating. The source should establish the tension and reader promise without requiring invented plot details. If you have several pen names, confirm the voice and book context belong to the one you are working on.
Step 4
Choose the tone that fits the book and use Cast the Spell to request the batch. Read the resulting short hooks beside the source. In the prepared screen, the output gives several ways into the same archive moment. A useful hook creates curiosity while remaining faithful to the story. Reject a striking line if it invents a relationship, event, or promise your book does not support.
Step 5
Look at the Instagram openings and newsletter teasers as well as the short hooks. Choose one idea, then adapt its length and voice for the channel. Add the real book title or destination where appropriate. Do not post every generated option just because it exists. Your next decision is which one best invites the right reader into this particular book.
Step 6
Copy the individual result or download the batch as text so you can revise it outside the app. Keep the source and the final version together. Before posting, check spelling, book facts, spoilers, links, and the call to action. Test one clear variation and record the result. If the post underperforms, bring that actual post and its context into the Hook Graveyard for a focused review.
