    @erynne – Ahh yes, writing blurbs. The struggle is real. XD I do love the post that @r-m-archer shared! It’s very informative and thorough.

    What I’ve personally found the most helpful is to study blurbs from books I’ve enjoyed and read (so I have an idea of how much the author shared in the blurb.) I do this for books in the same genre that I’m writing in. It’s kind of like learning by osmosis, lol, the more you absorb them, the more you get an idea of what kinds of blurbs are intriguing and successful.

    That, and critiquing other people’s blurbs, because it makes me analyze it deeply, gives me something to work off of, and because I love helping out other writers. Win-win all around. SO if you’d like direct critique on your blurb just let me know! 🙂

    I hope some of this was helpful, and good luck in your blurb crafting! (yes, it is indeed a hilarious word, along with hunky-dory. XD)
