The Blurb Whisperer

Spent six months writing the novel. Spent eight months writing the back-cover blurb.

Finally hired a professional blurb writer. Paid $500. He delivered perfection: 'A breathtaking journey through the human soul.'

Published. Sold 10,000 copies. Readers raving.

Met the blurb writer at a party. 'Your blurb moved thousands,' I said. 'What's your secret?'

'I use the same one for everyone. Just swap "soul" for "heart" every other book.'

'But... you read my manuscript?'

'I'm a blurb writer, not a reader.'
