The blurb is the summary for the back cover/inside jacket to tell the reader what the story is about.
It includes 3 elements:
Hook: what makes your story unique?
MC: Introduce them and tell the most important things about them
Set up main conflict + focus on stakes--don't give away the end!

How do you begin and end a scene?
You want to use a "get in late, get out early" philosophy so you're starting as close to the action as you can and the characters are going to connect, and what's happening should still make sense to your reader, but we're not going to end up with lots of set-up.

Some of my best clients know a lot about writing, but struggle to apply it to their own work.
I call it 2nd Book Syndrome.
I can talk you through it, as I do with them. I’ll read 2500 words and we’ll Zoom for an hour, discussing your story and how to apply what you know. Flat fee, link in bio.

We’ve had an AMAZING response to my new query intensive, OUT OF THE TRENCHES. I’ve already set up our Discord group!
But it’s not too late. And if just two more folks sign up, I’ll be adding a second cohort! Will it be you?

My 4-wk querying intensive, OUT OF THE TRENCHES, is here!
The next novel you query CAN be different. There’s no magic wand, just experience, successful traditionally published clients, and a nearly compulsive need to teach people what I know.
Book by Nov 1 and save!

You don’t have to go it alone!
And you may not need an edit, either. I’ve helped thousands of writers talk through “stuck points” with a consultation. I read 10 pages (2500 words), meet you on Zoom for an hour, and discuss. We may also address strengths and areas for improvement.
