Book Description Best Practices
- 🎯 Hook them immediately: Your first sentence should grab attention and make readers want to know more. Start with action, conflict, or an intriguing question.

- 🎭 Show, don't tell: Instead of saying "exciting adventure," describe the specific challenges and dangers your character faces.
- 📏 Keep it concise: Aim for 100-300 words. Readers scan quickly, so every word should serve a purpose in selling your book.
- 🎪 Match genre expectations: Romance readers expect different elements than thriller readers. Know your genre conventions and deliver on them.
- 🔚 End with a compelling question: Leave readers with a question or cliffhanger that can only be answered by reading your book.
