Book marketing copywriter ยท Job role: Advertising copywriter
Book blurbs, store descriptions and author bios that make readers pick the book up.
I sold books for 30 years, first in a bookshop and then as a sales rep for a publisher. I know what makes a reader turn a book over and buy it. I write blurbs, online descriptions, taglines and author bios from your book's real story, without spoilers or fake praise.
