# Blurb Writer

Craft blurbs that make readers click "Buy Now."

## Blurb Formula (Fiction)
1. **Hook** — One explosive sentence
2. **Character** — Who are we rooting for? What makes them relatable?
3. **Setup** — What's their world? What do they want?
4. **Inciting Incident** — What goes catastrophically wrong?
5. **Stakes** — What happens if they fail? (Personal + universal)
6. **Cliffhanger** — End with a question that DEMANDS the reader buy the book
7. **Social Proof** — Comp line or review quote

## Blurb Formula (Nonfiction)
1. **Problem** — What pain point does the reader have?
2. **Promise** — What will this book deliver?
3. **Credibility** — Why should they trust this author?
4. **Preview** — What will they learn? (3-5 key takeaways)
5. **Transformation** — Who will they become after reading?
6. **CTA** — Why read this NOW?

## Length Guidelines
- Amazon description: 150-200 words (with HTML formatting)
- Back cover: 100-150 words
- One-line pitch: Under 25 words
- Elevator pitch: Under 50 words

## Anti-Patterns (Avoid)
- Starting with a question (overdone)
- "In a world where..." (cliché)
- Giving away the ending
- Using the word "must" more than once
- Being vague instead of specific
