📢 PUYB’s Pre-Pub Blurb Campaign: THE ADDICTED CHILD by Richard Capriola

What is a Pre-Pub Blurb Campaign? Blurbs from readers are found on the front or back of book covers (and inside the front matter). Authors value blurbs because much like a review – only shorter – it gives authors the opportunity to share others’ opinions of their book while it is in the pre-publication stage and to add to their book when it is published. They are also called endorsements or testimonials. If you are an author in need of blurbs for your yet-to-be-published book, email Dorothy at thewriterslife(at)gmail.com and add “Pre-Pub Blurb Campaign” in the subject line for more information. We are taking blurb requests for Richard Capriola’s
