A new thread in the Self-publishing and POD sub-forum critiques art covers; what a great idea. Later, I was floating through a list of self-published books and read many of the back cover blurbs/synopsis/teasers. Many are confusing and littered with errors.
I was wondering if there's a thread or sub-forum for folks who are going to self-publish to post their draft back cover blurbs/synopsis/teaser for critique. So many of the back covers' text could use some new eyes to ferret out issues: poor grammar, a confusing synopsis or teaser, using a number rather than spelling it out, and so on.
I'm not published, self or otherwise ... yet. I thought such a thread might help our self-published authors sell a few books that stimulates a prospective reader with a high-class blurb.
I had checked the SYW forums. Perhaps Self-Publishing and POD isn't the right place either. Or maybe I just missed the right place.
