  • When you write a great book description you've written copy that will sell your book. A great book description is not a summary of your book, it's sales copy. In this video, Julie Broad of Book Launchers breaks down the book description of Matthew Harmon's book and explains what elements of the description have what purpose and why you need each of them. She also explains why you must write a digital and back of the book version of your book description as well.

    I can't remember who said it, but this is what I tell people when I see their description is loaded with boring facts: People buy emotion, not facts. You gotta him 'em in the feels.

      @@rachelrobertson7353 Thanks, I wish I could take credit. I wish I could remember who said it, but it was a famous copywriter. "Imagine" is one of the best words to use. Listen to politicians, they use it a lot to hit the feels.

    Welcome back, Julie! Hope you had a wonderful summer break! I’ve been editing a lot of book descriptions lately, so this was a great first video back. :-) #nailedit #noboringbooks

    Excellent timing as always. I have been wanting to improve my book description skills. By the way, I wanted to apologize for only being able to respond with resting when you asked me a question at the reviewer party. I am so sorry, you must have thought that I did not care about the program, but that is not the case. Unfortunately before the program I ate something that I did not realize had something I was allergic to and I was doing my best to fight the allergy medicine so I could at least hear the celebration.

    Thank you Julie! I fixed my Subtitle yesterday big difference. I will pull my description today from my template 'questions' because these things are keeping me ontrack as I rewrite/edit. Looking forward to my call.

      I'm going to do a new video on how to use Chat GPT to help write your book description. It's taking so much pain out of the process.

    Julie, I had a surprise dream that you scolded me and told me I had to go to my couch and write or you were going to release the bear on me! And I don't have a couch!

  • @anniepaquette

    I was wondering if this book description is the same as what we use for Bowker's ISBN's book description and for Ingram, who also asks for a book description for distributors and retailers.
    Thanks for all your valuable content.

  • @ArtistAllanWest
    @ArtistAllanWest Před 3 lety +1

    Yes! If each word doesn't make the person holding the book want to buy it, it is a waste of space. I suspect this is like writing a haiku. Every word needs to pull its weight, and engage the potential reader.

      There really isn't one dedicated to hemp investments for folks who don't like marijuana investing :) It's a pretty fascinating look at the history as well as the future.
