I hate technology, or maybe it hates me.

Either way, I broke everything. 

I’ve been switching all my backend stuff over to my new website. Then nothing worked. 

In an attempt to save my domain reputation and to avoid ending up on some email blacklist, I also avoided emailing you. 

Luckily, my tech guy Mike sorted me out with his ninja IT skills and I’m back up and running. 

Talking of breaking stuff and ninja skills though, it also means my blog is back up and running…

It’s where I do weekly breakdowns of best selling book descriptions to show you the psychology behind them. 

We all know that book descriptions are a vital part of book sales, and one of the biggest pains on an indie author's to-do list. 

So, I'm on a myth-busting mission to break down the elements of best-selling blurbs so that you can use the techniques to write your own best-selling blurbs… and make it a lot less painful.

Heck, I'm gonna go so far as to say that I actually want you to enjoy writing the bleddie things...

Because you'll have a handy bag 'o' tricks to refer to, grab inspiration from, and stop using the spaghetti-thrown-at-the-wall approach. 

Here's how these weekly blurb breakdowns go down…

Every week I'll take a best selling book off the digital shelves of Amazon's top 100 in a given category... and I'll break it down, sentence by sentence, so you can see the techniques and strategies at play. 

Then, you can use those techniques to strengthen or create your own best selling book description.

Right, so them's the rules, I’m up to 21 blurb breakdowns. 

So far, I’ve deconstructed a mix of fiction and non-fiction, from sci-fi to historical romance, and memoirs to self help.

Here’s the link to check them out: https://thebookfunnellady.com/blog/   

If you come across an awesome book description out in the wilderness, and you want me to break it down, I'm more than happy to do it. The catch is, it can't be for one of your own books (unless you pay me *ahem). 

Just email me with the Amazon link and tell me what you liked about it - if it made you want to buy it, or if you bought it. 

Speak soon.
