oh my...
you know our writers' group is publishing an anthology, a second in the row and i have some writings included in it.
well, yesterday i was asked to write the blurb for the back cover.
guess what i am doing with google :)
i have found this site for example.
-
any tips?
what is your definition of a good blurb?
-
UPDATE
i wrote one, but the leader of the writers' gorup did not like it really much. than i came up with a blurb that basically told the same things as the first version, but consisted only of questions.
this second version was appreciated.
so i made a third one, a kind of combination of the first and the second one.
this was even more appreciated.

I wrote the blurbs for my Talera books and Cold in the light. I think a key is a heightened sense of drama and to leave the reader with a teaser/promise of what they'll find inside.
i kind of knew you wrote lots of blurbs, Charles.
thanks for the contribution.
you know, this is an anthology, with all different genres, even the length of the pieces are different, there are poetry included...
