What’s in a Book Blurb?
A lot, actually. Asking a fellow writer for a blurb can be both easy or daunting, depending on the ask. In the case of CAUGHT IN BLACK HEADLIGHTS, the writer/poet I asked to blurb my book is someone I admire and, frankly, was a little bit nervous handing over the galley for it.
I write poetry, sure, but it’s not my main medium. I used to blast out poems non-stop once upon a time, but these days they’re few and far between. However, the approach to CAUGHT IN BLACK HEADLIGHTS is different than my other stuff and, it seems, paid off.
I won’t give away details just yet, but the book did indeed wind up getting blurbed by that writer and it will be used on the front cover.
Vague blogging right now.
Soon.
