Book Descriptions That Sell, for Nonfiction Authors

By Bill Platt

Readers - especially nonfiction readers - aren't just browsing for entertainment.

They are searching for solutions.

Whether they want to improve a skill, overcome a challenge, reach a goal, or better understand the world around them, they're looking for books that speak directly to their needs and desires.

When a potential reader lands on your book, they're asking themselves one key question:

"What's in it for me?"

They want to know:

Will this book help me solve my problem?Does the author understand what I'm going through?Is this the resource I've been looking for?

That's why a well-crafted book description is so important.

It's not just a summary - it's your chance to show readers that you understand them and that your book is exactly what they've been searching for.

When your description makes that clear, they're far more likely to click the BUY Button.
