How to write blurbs
There is a thread here where people are complaining about writing blurbs, so I thought I would start this one to help give some ideas... here are your ideas...
Well it's just one idea realy, and it is to go read this blog post someone made a while back --> http://www.digitalbookworld.com/2013...le-book-blurb/ |

Wow! VydorScope, thanks for the link! I'm going back now to study the page.
It's funny, too. As a small-town journalist I routinely promoted every man, dog, and event that wandered into the newsroom. And quite frankly, I thought I gave them good coverage. But when it comes to doing the same for myself or my work . . . . . Ugh. Last edited by Anna Drake; 01-10-2014 at 08:24 AM. |

Thanks for the link, I will study it at a more suitable time of day than 2am. As Anna suggests, I think a lot of the problem stems from some sort of self-consciousness. It's hard to step back that far from your own work after being so involved in the depths of it for so long.
