Other writing books contain some of these points, but Jeff explains not just the how but the why.

Bravo, Jeff!" ?Lyn Cote, USA Today Best-Selling Author of over 40 novels When we write fiction, we hope it will be effective. We hope it will thrill our readers. We hope they will be engaged. What if you were handed a tool that took the guesswork out of it and changed your hoping to knowing? This is that tool.

Jeff?s books are my go-to for writing craft. If you hope to write an engaging novel, you need to read Hack Your Reader?s Brain. I?ll be re-reading it with every new book I write and I highly recommend it. Jeff dissects the essentials with the expertise of a surgeon and leaves you equipped to become a bestselling author." ?Nadine Brandes, multiple award-winning novelist ?Writing is an art, but connecting with your reader?s emotions is a science. Jeff Gerke, one of the leading writing teachers in the country, will show you how to keep your readers riveted and engaged from beginning to end.

If you?re looking for the secret to becoming a more successful writer, you?ve got to read Hack Your Reader?s Brain.? ?Jim Denney, author of the Timebenders series and Writing in Overdrive "What I loved about Hack Your Reader?s Brain is that Jeff practiced what he preached and hooked me from the first paragraph.

And, as a writer, I was engaged and excited about what I was reading?exactly what a bestseller should create." ?Christa Allen, novelist "Hack Your Reader?s Brain puts a new spin on the novelist?s age-old struggle to write a book readers simply can?t put down.
