Do you know the 12 proven steps to write book descriptions to make your book sell? Nonfiction authors often neglect being creative when writing book descriptions. They imagine that the great content inside the book will make it a success. What a joke! Writing book descriptions is a form of copy writing - it's advertising! You are not just telling what is inside the covers. You are telling the potential reader or listener why they should buy the book.

Ready to write my own blurb for my first book

I am writing my first book and I KNOW that the title and the book blurb are normally the First two ways one is introduced to a book. So, I didn't give it a second thought. If I wanted this aspect of my book to be the VERY best...someone else should write it...you know, this being my first time and all. But after listening to Julie's book about blurbs (the ONLY audio book on here on the subject. Sidenote: why aren't there MORE audiobooks on...everything? Sheesh), I am ready to write my OWN blurb first draft (s). I will have it reviewed multiple times, but I now know what it entails and variations for different social media outlets.

I will say, it seems there are a plethora of professionals that have experience with Fiction and thus almost every example, advice, etc, is geared toward that. My book is non fiction and thus most examples do not apply to me. :(

Great Book on Blurbs!

I really enjoyed this book, and especially the examples given to show how the author transformed an idea or a first copy blurb, into a final product. Recommended.
