Most authors struggle with it: The dreaded back cover copy.
Once you’ve written a book, the rest should be easy, right? Less than 100 words about your book, with enough flair and panache to entice a reader to pick your book over all the others. No sweat!
Except... writing the back cover copy for your book (also lately called the blurb) can be an experience laced with pain, frustration, and teeth-gnashing. Some authors have been known to spend days cowering in a corner, chewing on a pound bar of chocolate from Trader Joe’s until they are brave enough to think about facing … well, life.
The experts at West of Mars are here to help. Even if you use another editor for your novel, our no-pressure services will take care of you and help you help your book find its best audience. We offer three levels of back cover copy services:
*Anyone who guarantees you book sales through any method other than buying the books themselves quite possibly sold snake oil in a past lifetime. The simple truth is no one knows what sells books, other than word-of-mouth praise from other readers. All anyone can do is help you present yourself in the best light possible so you begin to develop that word-of-mouth following.
** What’s a really long book? Usually over 110,000 words. Before pictures.
Been told your author bio is full of typos? Maybe it’s not as bad as this one, but your bio says a lot about who you are, both by listing your interests and by making you look good.
