Write an Exceptional Book Description

Your eBook Cover Should Have Large and Legible Text The text should be large and easy to read. The size of the book cover will be fairly small when it’s on sale on Amazon. So, make sure that the text is large enough to be read even when the cover is small. People will only spend a second or two looking at your book cover, so you should make sure that it is something that will attract their attention and be easy to understand what it is about.

Share Your Input with Your Designer Share afew existingeBook covers with your professional book coverdesigner. These covers should be somewhat similar to what you want your cover to look like. Make sure that you tell your designer what your ideas for the cover. Ask for revised versions of the cover until you are satisfied with what you receive.

Make sure to let your book cover designer know what you like and don’t like when you ask them to make changes. Try to be clear about what you want – this will save both your time and that of your designers. This will also ensure that you get what you were looking for. Your cover should represent what you want your ideas for the book. Therefore, you must share your input in the designing process.

Write an Exceptional Book Description

For your book cover, you will also need a good description of your book. The book description should be about 150-200 words at the most. You could write it as one paragraph, or you can divide it into a few paragraphs (choose what best fits your writing flow). Here are a few things you should keep in mind when writing your book description.

Your eBook Description Should Be Clear and Concise The book description should briefly describe the premise of the story. Give the reader enough details for them to be interested, but not enough that it ruins the book for

them. Don’t write a vague book description. The description should allow the reader to be able to get a sense of which direction the book is going in. The reader will only be interested in something that makes sense.

Think of Your Book Description as a Sales Pitch

You must remember that the purpose of your book description is to get readers to purchase and read your book. Think of the description as a pitch. You want your customers to be interested by giving them a taste of what your book has to offer. Therefore, you must end your eBook description with a hook. The hook is the turning point that will make your potential reader guess the outcome of what they read in the description. Spend significant time writing your book description because it plays a vital role in determining whether your book sells or not (especially if this is the first time you’re publishing). The writing should be articulate and concise. Don’t write in descriptive language, because you won’t have many words to work with. Include the most relevant and interesting details in your book. The book description is not a summary of your book. Therefore, every word in it should be aimed at persuading a reader to buy your book.

Leave the Conclusion of Your Book Description Open-Ended A good way to conclude your book description is to leave it open-ended. You could even pose a question to the reader. Leaving the ending open-ended will possibly make the reader curious about what else the book has in store for them. If you are writing the description for a novel, make the reader guess possible outcomes so that they will want to read the book to find out if they were right or not.

Ensure That the Book’s Writer Writes the Description We recommend that the person who wrote the eBook should write the book description too. This is because the writer will know the book’s details better than anybody. They will know which details in the description will do the best job of selling the book. Therefore, if a ghostwriter is writing your eBook, make sure that you include the book description in the deal you make with your ghostwriter.
