The Power Of A Strong Book Cover Blurb Via BookBaby: https://lnkd.in/dEHU7sb3. "From enticing teasers to critical affirmation, a book cover blurb can persuade readers to check out and buy your book and can serve to promote your title and your author platform for years to come. There are several reasons why most traditionally published novels you pick up have a blurb prominently featured on the front or back cover. The addition of a strong book cover blurb — an endorsement by a person of note (a well-known author or expert) or an excerpt from a professional book review — immediately establishes a perceived level of quality and value. If Stephen King or John Grisham liked this novel enough to endorse it, chances are good you’ll love it too, right? The same goes for a starred review in Publishers Weekly, Kirkus, or any publication or website of note. Not every release gets starred reviews, so it stands to reason that the novel with the glowing excerpt on the cover must be an extraordinary read. Teaser: Solomon Bull book cover blurbA strong book cover blurb can serve as a teaser for potential readers, giving them a little taste of what’s in store if they purchase the novel. Clayton Lindemuth’s Solomon Bull is a perfect example of a self-published novel that utilizes a blurb masterfully. The copy on the cover — an excerpt from a BlueInk review — succeeds in both establishing quality and piquing reader interest. “A virile tale about a tough-as-nails Blackfoot Indian… a roaming badass… a well-crafted, solid thriller.” And if I’m being completely honest, book covers with blurbs just look better, they look more polished and professional. A novel without a blurb on the front or back cover seems naked to me — unfinished."
