Writing the blurb for your novel, what a nerve-wrecking stage! It took 3 months to finally come up with a decent blurb for my first novel (Lost in Amber). The greatest help came through my author buddies who ultimately lent a hand to word it better & gave me so many useful tips. Then I rolled up my sleeves and started investigating, so that when I had to write that pesky blurb for BOOK 2 (Found in Amber), I got it done in only 5 minutes. I put together a video with tips, power words, expressions, opening statements & formula for all authors going through the same awkward stage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdxy8...
I really hope you’ll find it useful.

It is the hardest part. The one mistake people make is telling the entire plot. Every word counts, imo.

I know that was my capital mistake when I started.

That means so much, thank you!

Thanks Esther! I've saved the link as it's something I'll be doing in the next few weeks.
