Blurb Boiling 101
with Ainsley MacQueen
She can't sell your book for you, or grant you more talent, but she can take the fear out of writing the most marketable in-your-face blurb for your works in progress.
Does your blurb lack luster, power, BREVITY?
Do you equate writing a blurb with planning your funeral?
Are you convinced polishing 90,000 words is easier than polishing the golden 25?
Come on. Writing a great blurb is easier than giving up. It takes only 30 minutes to dip your blurb in gold, roll it into a previously prepared query, and send it to work while you polish those other 89,975.
Whether you have no blurb or a monster of a blurb to tame, you will learn:
- What aspect of your story can make readers instantly “relate”,
- What concept makes it instantly marketable,
- How to turn a hundred words to twenty five,
- How to look at your story objectively,
- And do it all while dinner is in the oven.
INSTRUCTOR'S BIO:
Ainsley MacQueen is an award winning writer of Scottish historical romance, screenplays, and
stage plays. She offers motivational speaking and instruction on the writing of blurbs, pitching to the pros, and making the critique partnership work. See her writing motivation blog at
