The Struggles of Writing a Book Blurb: A Writer's Confession

Struggling to write the perfect book blurb? You’re not alone. Check out my latest blog post where I dive into the challenges, frustrations, and lessons learned in crafting that elusive blurb. #WritingCommunity #BookBlurb #AmWriting #AuthorLife #haveacupof

As a writer, one of the most challenging tasks I face is writing a compelling book blurb. You’d think that after writing an entire manuscript, summarizing it into a few enticing paragraphs would be a breeze, but for me, it’s anything but. Crafting a blurb that brings intrigue, captures the essence of the story, and includes the necessary keywords to attract readers feels like an art form I’m…

BLURB TEST 1 "Emma, a cynical film editor, takes a spontaneous trip to Spain with her emotionally unstable college friend, Valentina, where, during the hot summer, her resourcefulness is tested as old and new friends challenge her rigid ideals, offering rewarding opportunities in her career and personal life, leading her to assert herself against her grief, fears, and ideals of loyalty, friendship, and life plans."

I’ve been wanting to read The Doloriad for so long and today I finally picked it up. The cover and the blurb make it very intriguing. The last line (of the blurb) reads: “Gothic and strange, moving and disquieting, The Doloriad stares down humanity’s unbreakable commitment to life for better or worse” As you can see, I’m very excited. . . . . #bookrecs #bookstagram #blurb #bookblurb #bookblogger #bookish #bookstagrammer #booksbooksbooks #bookworm #thedoloriad #nowreading #currentread #tbr #gothic #gothicliterature #bibliophile #literature (at Bookstagram) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqSZsPig8y0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Book Blurbs

January 7, 2024|Blogging

What is a book blurb..., it is a short promotional description. Blurbs typically appear on the back cover of printed books and are intended to encourage readers to buy into the book. It is different than the synopsis, which is longer and a description of the book, but may only hint at the rising action and, of course, leave the climax and resolution out entirely. The blurb is the "hook," to help the reader want more. Readers browse a lot of books when they are at a bookstore or looking at products online. A short blurb will be more memorable than a convoluted one. No matter how you blurb, remember, "Enjoy the Write!" KSCarson

Bookblurb (provisional) WRITTED.

Imagine that plus ritual fairy sacrifice! Sondheim earworms! Kitsune! Swan maidens! Weird blue drinks! Illicit sex! Poorly-made chicken stock! Darts competitions! These guys (not specifically but inspirationally)! I mean, if you were a publisher, you'd want this, wouldn't you?

8/14/2023: This is my first workplace horror and I have thoughts. Review coming soon, but I'd like to say this now: This book felt like I worked there and those consultants were on something else. I was ready to quit and wondered why most characters didn't (lol).

8/19/2023: It’s been a couple days since I’ve finished this book and I’m still not sure what to say about it. I guess what I said before is all.

The White Knight - K.B. Kirtley

Here’s the book blurb for my book coming out this spring! Excited to share more about publishing and Lance’s story soon!

“Lance Locke’s focus should be on improving his GPA and enhancing his resume as the final semester of his college career draws to a close with no job prospects on the horizon. But after a vigilantism fantasy becomes a reality, he embraces his new role as campus protector instead.

When he uncovers a scheme led by the university’s primary donor, who doubles as one of the most powerful men in the nation, Lance will need more than his dad’s old nightstick to keep his fellow students safe.

With his university threatened by a man who will stop at nothing to see his vision carried out, will Lance be able to keep those he cares most about and the campus they call home safe? Or will his inexperience lead to a failure that forces him to question ever becoming a hero to begin with?

For those who enjoy superhero stories and prefer reading novels, this book is a perfect choice. “

Could not ask for a better blurb for Jane Yolen's THE MIDNIGHT CIRCUS . “Look this way, look that; blazing her consummate imagination against the shadows of human sorrow, Jane Yolen has done it again. She has produced a set of spectacles designed to keep us awake in the darkness. The Midnight Circus delights, confounds, and challenges. We read all the night long; we are not the same come dawn.”—Gregory Maguire, author of Wicked . . #books #bookstagram #bookblurb #themidnightcircus #janeyolen #fantasy #fantasybook #shortstories #shortstorycollection #gregorymaguire #howtofractureafairytale #theemeraldcircus #booklife #publishing #upcomingbooks #2020books https://www.instagram.com/p/CAtfOdNgbvV/?igshid=gfc2kv82tbmz

Currently Reading: The Forever Crew by CM Stunich

This book series is serious-ly weird. I much preferred the Rich Boys of Burberry Prep series, when the relationships didn’t seem to come out of nowhere. I’m not into slut-shaming but the girl in this series doesn’t seem to even consider personal boundaries and is obsessed with sex for lack of a better description. 

There was little romantic build-up between the characters and they seem to fall in love (or lust) with her as soon as they find out she’s a girl. Why are they in love with her? Your guess is as good as mine. The only explanation I have is shared trauma from the first book, maybe. 

Anyway this is my first post on this blog and I’m excited to try and keep a log of my thoughts on readings!
