Book Descriptions Made Simple…
Who knew writing the book would be the easy part?
You’ve finished the manuscript. Now (horrors!) you need to create a book description that will capture readers’ attention and make them want to buy it. But how can you possibly cram all the best parts of your amazing story into only two hundred words or less?
If writing your book blurb makes you want to throw your laptop out the window, I have great news for you:
I can help.
As an experienced book description writer in a wide variety of genres—from fantasy to thriller to romance to memoir—I’ve helped many authors showcase their stories. I even count the traditional publishing house Harlequin among my clients. And I would love to create a book description that will place your story in its most enticing light.
Let me make your marketing copy work as hard as you do.
Read on to see how I can help you make your masterpiece shine!

Robin Marr about a new description for Broken Witch:
“Talena is a joy to work with. The whole experience was an exercise in cooperation and teamwork, and I felt deeply included throughout. She gave me a totally different insight into the selling features of my book and how to maximise them. I have every intention of seeking her help on my next series.”
