Book Description Services

After all the hard work you put into creating your masterpiece, you need an irresistable book description.

A book description can make or break your sales. While many authors think of the book description (or book blurb) as the most difficult part of the entire book to write, I adore creating book descriptions that place your story in its most enticing light.

As an experienced book description writer in a wide variety of genres from fantasy to thriller to romance to memoir, I’ve helped many authors showcase their stories. I even count a well-known traditional publishing house among my clients.

I can’t wait to make your marketing copy work as hard as you do.
