While your cover is the first thing to catch a reader’s eye and entice them to click through to your book page, it’s your blurb that will convert that curiosity into a sale. Many of the best authors in the world don’t write their own blurbs, because effective blurb writing is a special skill that is more marketing than creativity. You need to capture your reader’s attention immediately, whet their appetite and entice them to buy your book to find out what happens next.
Our professional blurb writers can either write a new blurb for you from scratch, or analyze one of your existing blurbs and tell you how to improve.
And don't forget to format your blurb properly for Amazon so it looks as enticing as possible with our free blurb tool!
Blurb Expert (Blurb Writing & Blurb Analysis)
Julie started off in the publishing industry writing ad copy and ghostwriting before finishing her bachelor's degree. The self-publishing boom in 2010 influenced her decision to focus on editing, blurb work, and her own creative writing. She brings both academic knowledge and hands-on experience to her in-depth blurb analyses and critiques. Julie has crafted blurbs in all genres and has helped to successfully launch many books onto the bestseller lists.
"I highly recommend Hidden Gems Blurb Analysis service. Julie’s analysis of the blurb for my novel Shadow of Doubt elevated it from good to great. She approached the analysis in a genre-specific manner identifying ways to incorporate appropriate keys words, build tension and attract relevant readers. Her line-by-line analysis was useful to help me break down the major plot points so that the blurb didn’t come across as simply a summary of events, but instead as a blurb that will hopefully hook readers and leave them wanting more. I will definitely use the Hidden Gems Blurb Analysis service for future projects." - SL Beaumont, Shadow of Doubt
“I just wanted to write for a minute to brag on Julie. I received her blurb analysis for Friction, and whoa! It really blew me away. I was thoroughly impressed. I’m impressed enough to order another analysis for book one of my series, in fact. I’ll be sure to spread the word around to everyone I can about the new service there and how awesome it is.” - Dwayne Gill, Friction: Written By Blood
Blurb Expert (Blurb Writing)
The same background that has made Ginger our ad expert and editor also make him a killer blurb writer. Currently a successful romance author, but with an extensive background in New York and London advertising and marketing agenies, Ginger knows how to put together a blurb that can not only capture a reader's interest immediately, but also entice them to click the buy now button.
"I was completely blown away by the amount of time and thoughtful analysis that Ginger put into my blurb rewrite and Amazon ads. I received what I feel is a huge improvement over the blurb that I had, along with a wealth of invaluable insights into my book, genre, and sub-genre. Ginger delivered far more value than I was anticipating, and more quickly than I expected. I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to utilize his services. It’s always a pleasure doing business with someone so adept and efficient, and I can’t wait to hire him to assist with my broader marketing needs." - Chris Muhlenfeld, The Obsolescence Trilogy
Even for authors that do have the marketing skills necessary to write an effective blurb, it’s often better to let someone less invested in your story write it instead. This will ensure that your description isn’t focusing on points that, while important to the overall story, aren’t as important in terms of the overall goal of selling more copies.
If you enjoy writing your own blurbs but think there is room for improvement, our blurb analysis is what can take you to the next level. You provide one of your existing blurbs, and Julie will analyze it and provide a very detailed (often line by line) breakdown of what you’re doing right or wrong, and how you can improve.
NOTE: This service does NOT result in a brand new blurb to use. It is a breakdown and feedback on an existing blurb of yours, which you can then use to improve that or future blurbs.
