How to Write a BESTSELLING Book Blurb ✨ New Masterclass

Are you struggling to write a book blurb that captures the essence of your story? Are you worried that your blurb won't do your story justice, making potential readers put the book back on the shelf and walk away? If so, I'm here to help. Writing a book description is easier said than done, which is why I’ve created a fully-customizable, fill-in-the-blank template for writing an amazing blurb that will grab your reader's attention and get them excited to read your book.

But it's not just a template I'm sharing with you today... it's a complete MASTERCLASS including 10 value-packed video lessons guiding you through the process of writing a compelling book description.

In this masterclass, you’re going to learn:
• the science behind a bestselling book blurb
• what makes a lot of blurbs suck (and consequently, why most published authors never sell more than 500 copies of their book)
• how to write a captivating hook that grabs readers and pulls them right in
• how to use your book’s existing structure to write an emotional and compelling description
• how to craft a non-spammy call to action that converts more book sales
• the magic of using “power words”
• how to use your bestseller book blurb as a query letter or synopsis (that makes your book stand out from the crowd)

By the end of this training, you will have the tools and knowledge to write powerful book blurbs for every story you publish. I'm so excited to share this life-changing template with you and watch your book become the next bestseller!

My name is Abbie Emmons I teach writers how to make their stories matter by harnessing the power and psychology of storytelling, transforming their ideas into a masterpiece, and creating a lifestyle that makes their author dreams come true.

Story isn’t about “what happens” — it’s about how what happens affects and transforms the characters. I believe that there is an exact science (a recipe, if you will) behind a perfect story. And if you know what ingredients you need, you can create your own perfect story with ease and confidence. That’s what we talk about every week on this channel – and if it’s something you’re into, be sure to subscribe and join this community!

OH MY GOSH! THIS IS AMAZING AND PERFECTLY TIMED! I JUST FOUND YOUR CHANNEL AND I'M IN LOVE! THANK YOU ABBIE, I NOW FEEL THE MOTIVATION TO WRITE!

[myst]

This vid is like a ‘blurb’ for the masterclass

[melodid]

I was ready to sign up, but 149$ is just too expensive for me at this moment. Will wait till there is a special offer and take it then. Thanks Abby

[shekiweki]

When you thought you're finally getting the help and answers in writing a blurb only to be told to pay first 😅

[dawnpoint]

Well dang… years of waiting and I can’t afford it. No chance of a limited time hefty discount?

[Exayevie]

So, was no one else triggered by the guy at 0:23 putting the book away spine-first??

[sandeepsinghshekhawat]

Character : breathes
Abbie : why does it matter?
How does it impact the MC?
how does it affect his surroundings?
Why would it matter to us?
Why we should care about his breathing?
What was his fear
What inspired him to breathe how did it affect his past and how is he planning to breathe in future?
😂😂😂😂

You are such a genius abbie not only are you giving ideas of how to write some of the best books but also how to make one of the best albums in the music industry as well😅 you really are good keep going ❤

Me: watching this video in hopes that my fanfiction descriptions get better (it is truly pain to title and write descriptions for every lengthy story and oneshot)

Question: is the template going to be available at one point for those of us not involved in the masterclass (or just... another option to perhaps pay for the template itself)? --- as many have said, we can't afford it/are cheap... in my case, living under my parents' roof without a job.

[mahieamr]

The fact that you're always on time!!!

[genoa]

Hey Abbie!! Thank you for this video I found it so helpful. I was also wondering if you could do an immersive writing session about being like on a boat out at sea at night and it’s like raining and waves?? ❤

[anandaferraresi]

“I made that, for you” got me goosebumps. ABBY OUR LIFE SAVIOR! ❤❤❤❤

[johni]

Wow Abbie, lol I've been getting old videos of yours in my YT feed. It's nice to watch a current one . Thanks big time for your writing tips.

[BlackXSunlight]

I used to struggle so much with this because I tend to write these really weird fantasy premises that are hard to explain in one go. Writing, instead, the protagonist’s internal conflict and a general direction for the story was a good start.

[authorericar.stinson]

I have been bingeing your videos all evening. Thanks so much for the great tips and advice. I am a subscriber now

[ashleythomas]

This looks awesome. Does this address how to craft a dual POV blurb? Been really struggling with fitting both of their internal conflicts into such a short space for my query letter…

[brysonabernathy]

Here is my book blurb. I'm currently ~70, 000 words into my epic fantasy I'm writing. Just about to finish with ACT 1, cannot wait to get to the climax of the first ACT. I write with overlapping story arcs and am super eager to finish this project. I started on it back in 9th grade and while marriage kids and life slowed me down for about 10 years, I am super excited to have given it more focus lately and I can thank Abbie Emmons for that in part. Your content is fantastic, I greatly appreciate it!

Back of Book Blurb:

The Erith is deep and the Vaults are high. Render is struck above and stowed below. Men have relearned its yoke and harnessed its Surge, but it is far from the greatest mystery to be fully revealed.
The Sacred Scrolls are scattered, torn and shred, dispersed among the Erith both with height and with depth. They were the first to be Rend, but are first needed for The Mend.
The Heart is wretched, deep with deceit and lofty in pride. Its Render is immense, terrible, torn and shred. Men were the first to cause The Render, but their same Heart can Surge again if wrought by The Mender.
The Sacred Scrolls are scattered, torn and shred.
Us Men are long lost, forlorn and dead.

[jexgor]

I am definitely taking the course as soon as I finish my first book

[kcandon]

Hi Abbie. I don't have the money for this class at the moment, but it does sound like a class that contains the kind of information I am looking for to create a blurb for my first novel. Kevin

Question: What if you're writing about animals? How would you write about their outfit?
