The blurb is, arguably, the most important part to selling your book. And, arguably, it can be the hardest part to write. However, I have discovered a formula that reads well, and other authors seem to agree: the fishing pole. Like your blurb, a fishing pole needs a hook, a fishing line, and a reel; I explain each section of a blurb for you. Now catch some readers! The blurb not only needs to sell your story, but it also needs to tell your story. Many writers can find writing a blurb frustrating: "how am I supposed to describe my 200 paged novel in 300 words?" Well, this thinking is part of the problem. You don't have to describe everything, not even most things, just the VERY MAIN things.
