Meeting: November 4, 2017

And nope, it’s not that one. It’s blurbs. You know that little strings of words used to convey to complete strangers what is really going on between the covers of that baby you’ve been working on for so long. Love ‘em or leave ‘em. Blurbs are right up there with fantastic cover art when it comes to selling your book. The best books in the world will languish on virtual shelves if you don’t up your game and understand the strategy behind writing a blurb that will sell, and drowning your reader in a disorganized word dump.  I’m going to show you what works and what doesn’t, offer you guidelines for creating blurbs that will pull in your potential readers and show you how a fantastic blurb is a key element for a successful marketing plan.
