#WritersCoffeeClub 2/20. What's the secret to writing a good blurb?
I use a system created by Bryan Cohen from Ad School (he has a book out called "Fiction Blurbs the Best Way Forward").
Since learning that, I actually enjoy writing blurbs, both for my books and others.
Biggest thing: Everything that happens in the first half of a book is fair game for a blurb.
And remember: A blurb is to make someone curious about the book, it's not about describing what happens.
