BOOK BLURB
Imagine a Bookstore. Imagine a potential customer. He is attracted to your book kept on the shelf. He touches it, appreciates the beautifully designed cover page. What will he do next? Flip to the back of the book and read its blurb.
A blurb is a concise summary of the book, giving an introduction of its characters, usually also including a small extract from the book, and at the same time, describing the narrative. Almost always ending with a cliff hanger in a work of fiction. A question mark. The will-he, won't-he kinds.
A blurb can be one of the best marketing ideas for your book, the split-second decision-making factor which can sway the buyer either way. An impressive writeup, exactly balancing out the key elements and yet keeping it absolutely within limits, is nothing short of an art. It is not a difficult task, but not an easy one either.
Help is on its way.
