Read More →You’ve written the book. Now comes one of the most crucial parts of your journey: the book blurb. It’s your 150-word sales pitch to the world, the teaser that convinces readers to click “Buy Now.”
At Impact Book Publishers, we know how powerful the right blurb can be. We're here to help you craft one that not only captures attention but also sells.
Elements of a High-Converting Book Blurb
Blurb writing isn’t about summarizing the plot; it’s about creating intrigue. Here's how:
- Start with a Hook: Open with a suspenseful, emotional, or provocative line.
- Introduce Character & Conflict: Briefly set up who the story is about and what they're facing.
- Hint at the Stakes: What’s at risk? This builds tension and drives interest.
- Leave Them Wanting More: Ignite curiosity, don’t satisfy it.
- Match the Tone to the Genre: Your blurb should feel like your book.
Common Blurb Mistakes to Avoid
- Too vague or generic (“Things will never be the same again…”).
- Too much detail (spoiling plot twists is a turn-off).
- Flat tone (it should reflect your book’s personality).
- Poor formatting or grammar (this signals unprofessionalism).
