The Perfect Pitch

The blurb, or jacket copy, is the description on your retail page (or back of the book) that can make or break your sale. Once your cover has caught a reader's eye, you have one chance to set the hook and reel them in. 

You've spent months crafting tens of thousands of words into the perfect story, jam-packed with characters and worldbuilding and the tiny little details you've grown to love. And now, somehow, you're meant to condense it into a few short paragraphs that set the tone, tease the plot, and entice the reader to flip the page. The skills required for pitching a story are not the same as those used to craft a book. 

You've done the hard part. The book is finished. Given the right tools and insight, your blurb can be too. With a custom tool kit and personalized feedback to fit your project, you'll be able to perfect your pitch.
