At the time I thought wouldn't this email make a great blurb? When the time came, I proposed the idea to my editor who loved it. Promotion said I had to whittle it down to 150 words, and my editor and I started chipping away. I'm eager to see how readers like an email for a blurb.Vonnie Davis ~ Romance Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07360480832587538895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-75827297626728481402012-04-08T09:44:50.486-04:002012-04-08T09:44:50.486-04:00Blurb writing does drive me crazy but I've fou...Blurb writing does drive me crazy but I've found if I write an elevator pitch first, the blurb comes easier.

Tag Lines are good too.<br />I always read the blurb of any book that I buy, and if it doesn't instantly grab me, I put the book back on the shelf and look for something else.<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />MargaretMargaret Tannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07123830410502520003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-54463869298677372072012-04-08T01:24:21.655-04:002012-04-08T01:24:21.655-04:00Dare I admit - I absolutely love writing blubs.

LOL I always seem to end the blurb with a question. Can't get away from that habit.Jannine Gallanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17692098634695675967noreply@blogger.com
