Blurb Boost
As an author, I know more than anyone how crucial that blurb to your book is. Aside from the cover, it's your first chance to make a good impression on a potential reader. But writing an effective blurb to hook readers can sometimes be harder than writing the book. Having to nail down what's important to share along with grabbing one's interest can be a challenge.
Lucky for me, I love the challenge. I enjoy writing blurbs when most authors don't, so I thought why not come in and help authors with their own blurbs. I have years of experience creating blurbs that sell books, having sold over 3,000+ copies. Only 500 of those copies might have been paid for, but that’s gotta count for something. Whether you need a blurb written from scratch or would like a revision pass on what you have, I can help make sure your synopsis is as engaging as your book.
Service
If you choose this service looking for me to write a blurb from scratch, you will give me a brief summary of your book's plot and main characters, your genre, reader demographic, elements you feel are most important to highlight in the blurb, such as themes, backstory details, character attributes, POV, etc. In return, you will receive 3 unique versions of the blurb for you to review for approval. If you're left unsatisfied, another a finalized version can be completed based on your feedback.
If you're looking to receive feedback on your already written blurb or you want your blurb to be revised, you'll send me the blurb itself. Along with your goals for the blurb, as well as any other info that could help my review or revision.
In a feedback review, I'll analyze your existing blurb and provide a 500 word page paper focusing on the blurb's effectiveness in the following areas: it's hook, clarity, appropriateness for the target audience, genre expectations. You'll also receive specific suggestions for areas of improvement, with examples on how it could be strengthened and an overall impression of how well the blurb achieves its goal of enticing readers to learn more or purchase the book.
In a revision, I'll fully rework your blurb based on your feedback/goals for it. With this service, you can expect an entirely new blurb, rewritten from the ground up. It will incorporate the original core elements but with a fresh approach. The revision process includes crafting a more compelling hook and structure, ensuring an tone reflective of your book, and multiple rounds of revisions until you're completely satisfied.
Duration
How long this service takes depends on how much information you provide me with your book. The more information I have about the plot and the goals you want to achieve with the blurb, the quicker I can craft one for you. To give a rough idea, the process can take from anywhere from two days to five days to be completed.
