Blurb Writer

Craft blurbs that make readers click "Buy Now."

Blurb Formula (Fiction)

1. Hook — One explosive sentence
2. Character — Who are we rooting for? What makes them relatable?
3. Setup — What's their world? What do they want?
4. Inciting Incident — What goes catastrophically wrong?
5. Stakes — What happens if they fail? (Personal + universal)
6. Cliffhanger — End with a question that DEMANDS the reader buy the book
7. Social Proof — Comp line or review quote

Blurb Formula (Nonfiction)

1. Problem — What pain point does the reader have?
2. Promise — What will this book deliver?
3. Credibility — Why should they trust this author?
4. Preview — What will they learn? (3-5 key takeaways)
5. Transformation — Who will they become after reading?
6. CTA — Why read this NOW?
