Speaker: Nancy Smay
Workshop: Build A Romance Blurb that Sells Books!
When a reader comes to your sales page at online retailers, they look at your cover, your title, and your blurb. Blurbs are critically important for selling books, and to sell romance books, there are certain concepts to apply!
Learn from a bestselling author and blurb writer for hundreds of books, and you'll be writing blurbs that sell your romance books in no time!
This workshop comes with free resources including a printable workbook, several worksheets, and an active community for feedback.
Speaker Bio:
Nancy is a veteran editor, marketer, and fiction author. She began editing at Harcourt Brace (on paper!) and her career progressed through a variety of marketing and editing positions. From running marketing operations for a startup tech firm in NYC in the late 90s to writing and editing technical reports she briefed at the Pentagon from 2014-2017, her career has been varied, but focused on language and storytelling. Her most recent corporate position was as a brand strategist for a small consulting firm.
In the background, Nancy founded Evident Ink in 2014, after editing romance novels for a small press and beginning her own writing career in steamy, small town romcom as Delancey Stewart. Over the years that have followed, she’s worked with new authors and those with letters next to their names, specializing in coaching and line editing for romance specifically.
