TOPIC CHAT
This week's topic is about Cover Blurbs.   
They are often and justly limited in word count. They will appear on your back cover and on e-seller sites listing your book. 
A good Cover Blurb will seal the deal.  (A reader will purchase your title.) 

How to Write a Book Cover Blurb

http://www.lightmessages.com/lm/blog/writing/229-how-to-write-a-book-cover-blurb

You've finally finished your hours of researching, writing, and editing! You've sent in your manuscript and your publisher asks for a book description... That shouldn't be hard, right? All you have to to do is condense everything you know about your book into 250 words or less that convince readers they can't live without your book without actually giving away any spoilers.

There is another part of an online sales page which goes along with your blurb. This is your excerpt, and will make a great follow-up topic chat next year. 
 
I will have notes with other explanations or examples during the topic chat.  I will email some of those notes after chat if you email a request.  Subject Line - "Notes to sally@sallyfranklinchristie.com".
