How to write a blurb/book description for more effective marketing?

A blurb is a tagline on the back-cover (or website) that is meant to sell your book. The blurb should include any information that represents the book best and catches the readers’ attention when buying a book; even when you opt for Kindle direct publishing, UK or otherwise.

How to write an enticing book teaser for Amazon Kindle self-publishing? 

The plot-

1. Briefly describe the plot of your book.
2. For fiction; introduce the main character, the problem & perhaps a twist. For non-fiction, it should be addressed to the reader with a proposed solution.
3. You also should NOT give everything away in your full description.
4. Include reviews at the end along-with the source.

The main character-

1. It should be the character specifically (to relate with readers) and not generally about others.
2. Mention the main character’s name. In non-fiction it is “you”.

Be concise

1. Do not start with such phrases as “In this book, . . . .” or “In a world where . . .”
2. Do not explain why you wrote the book or how it changed your life.
3. Include only 1-2 problems of the main character in your teaser.
4. If the teaser seems too long, delete the less important parts.

Don’t insist on readers that they need your book

1. Readers don’t like be told what they need to do.
2. Don’t use phrases like “this is the best book ever!” or “this book will change your life!”Show how good your book is with a great, attention-grabbing description.

Potential buyers notice a blurb first when they see a book. It determines whether the reader will read your book or not.

Common mistakes which authors should avoid

Amazon’s the #1 retailer for books worldwide. It makes sense to go for Amazon self-publishing, UK.

But your results as an author will be less than satisfactory if you wind up making some errors in your manuscript, when publishing on Amazon & Kindle book publishing.

Creativity infuses authors to write. So they oversee some common grammatical mistakes, in the flow. Allow self-publishers as White Magic Studios to help you.

Let’s look at some common mistakes corrected by editors in self-publishing, UK houses.

1. Mixing British and American spellings

The spellings are different depending on the settings; whether it’s British or American. Some confused spellings are gray (American) and grey (British), cozy (American) and cosy (British), smolder (American) and smoulder (British)…

For dialogues in British,single quotes are usually used, double quotes in American.

2. Incorrectly written Possessive noun

In a plural noun that ends in s, add just the apostrophe. For example- I love the flowers’ fragrance.

If a proper name ends with an s, you may add just the apostrophe after or an “s” also. Ex- Have you seen Chris’ phone? “I love Chris’s phone.” Both are correct.

3. Using Modifiers

Let’s use examples for explaining this.

Incorrect: Running as fast as she could, the cape flapped in the wind.

Correct: She ran as fast as she could, the cape flapping in the wind.

4. Hyphens, en dash and em dash

Do not confuse between them & their uses.

5. Don’t forget Hyphens while writing age.

Correct: The fifty-year-old kept playing.
But-Correct: My mother is forty years old.

6. Correct use of serial comma

Correct: I saw my best friend, a clown, and a detective.(This means three persons)

Incorrect: I saw my best friend, a clown and a detective.

7. Mistake of Tenses

Writers often slip into wrong tense. They usually mix up tenses.
