Welcome, ya’ll! Today we are going to talk about that big blank abyss you enter when trying to write your book blurb and how to overcome but first, I am Jean Nicole Rivers, author of 2 psychological horror novels, Black Water Tales: The Unwanted and Black Water Tales: The Secret Keepers. You can go on over to Amazon.com right now and grab those with the link in my bio if you are on Instagram. Also, I am the creator of the Digital Course, Simply Writing: An Aspiring Author’s Guide to Building a Solid Writing Process and Finally Writing Their Novel. So if you are an aspiring author but just really need some help, head on over to www.SimplyStylusWriting.com as the case is closing on that course on Jan 31, 2020. So let’s jump right in!
Congrats! You have finally completed your novel/story and you’re moving fast and furious into marketing territory. Your first assignment is writing a gripping book description, but even though you have just completed an entire book/story on your subject, you are drawing a blank on these couple of paragraphs…BUMMER. You’re not alone, many writers find this task tricky and difficult. We’re writers and we love words; when we wrote our story, we had zero limitations so now, trying to squeeze all of the plot, characters, emotions, themes, etc. into a couple of sentences seems nearly impossible.
While this is one of the toughest things to do for your book it is also one of the most imperative to get right! When a reader has a choice between multiple novels, a fantastic book description is what will set yours apart, so spare no creative expense.
The points below outline the best way to use the approx. 200 words to ensure you have a novel description that makes your book, the potential reader’s first choice:
1. Give your character an interesting introduction. (1 to 2 sentences).
2. Explain the problem/obstacle she faces (1 to 2 sentences).
3. Describe the main happenings that move the plot. Hook or plot twist. (3 to 4 sentences).
4. Let the reader in on how your character plans to resolve the issue (1 to 2 sentences).
5. Captivate with a conclusion that leaves the reader wanting to know how it all ends (1 to 2 sentences).

The key to these steps is staying focused on exactly what the points ask. If we don’t keep this minimalist mindset, we start thinking about all the dynamic aspects like the themes, symbolism, multiple plot details and soon we’re just re-telling the story in its entirety which is what we are striving to avoid.
Create an outline for your blurb, the same way you did with your novel and respond to points 1-5 with brief sentences in bullet point form. Next, write your rough draft, pulling those points together. Last polish, then edit and that’s it! Be sure to approach points 1-5 above with the same creativity and enthusiasm as you did with your actual novel/story as it’s the key to getting potential readers to push the “Buy” button.
