"What is reality? Isn’t reality just your mind accepting life and everything around you as factual?"







"Journey with me into the future, let me lead you through the pages on the greatest adventure of all time, inspired by an true epiphany I suffered during a moment of sleep. It’s a story for our time. Right now humanity has reached a fork in the road, one road leads to life and the other death. In this book, the first of a trilogy, you’ll learn what’s on the road to death and a little of what’s possible on the road of life. Only by showing the world the cataclysmic cost of a world divided can they appreciate the wonders of life and the endless possibilities of a world united."

I hope I caught everything. You would think after 300,000 words I would start to learn to spell. Thank God for my wordsmith wife!

Whoa.... might want to reduce the size of the text a bit...

I think the parts you have bolded will do nicely for a back cover blurb. Omit the lengthy description in the middle (the plain text), IMO.

Thank you for the feed back. I was looking through the best seller rack at the book store today to see what is on the rear covers. From what I could tell they were all over the board
1) Some rear covers have nothing other than a picture.
2) Some had nothing other than the posted reviews of their book
3) Some had a bold one liner with some discription below
4) Some had way to much discription IMHO, so much so you almost felt like you didn't need to read the book to know what it's about.
Yet all were on the best seller rack, I liked choice number 3, a one liner and a tease of content. I might need to keep making it more pithy.

If it's a best seller, you might want to ask you why there are so little description on the back. If it's a book from a well-known author, how much description do you need? He/she has already published several books, so this one is most likely similar. If you like the others, you will like this.
If it's from a lesser-known author (or even the first book he/she has written), you need a better description as the name of the author isn't enough to sell the book.

Just a tip.

If it's a hard-back book, the blurb is usually on the inside flap. There's usually always a blurb, though.

I think I will spend this next week coming up with a half dozen rear cover lay outs. Then, I'm going to the bookstore/coffee house and I'm going to ask customers which rear cover is most likely to make them purchase.

Too much advanced words. My two cents.

No, you haven't heard correctly, because that's a load of crap.

Well, this is news to me - I thought the publishers decided what blurb suited the back cover.

I think this is all you need. Any more than that and I lose interest, but that's just my opinion.
