101 Short Blurb Examples

With a limited space available on a web page and only a 'thumbnail' size image of your book to wet your potential reader's appetite, the 'short blurb' of up to 100 words becomes more important in the process of promoting you as a writer. It's now part of the smart marketing process, inviting a browsing reader to delve more into your Web link, eventually opening up your book ... and reading the first few pages.

Some fortunate individuals have professionals employed to write 'blurb' for them, but the rest of us simply have to get on with one of the most difficult processes of being a self-published writer. Books on the subject often get 'lost' in the construction and grammar when all you really want is to SEE how it's done!

So, this little book offers you 101 actual 'blurbs' written in short form and containing no more than 100 words. From each original blurb we have distilled the wording yet again to give you a single, descriptive sentence, or 'hook', of around one third or less. These blurb examples, designed for the self-publishing author whose first language is not necessarily English, will take your marketing material to another level.
