Book descriptions are what people read when they browse through online bookstores or when they look at the back of a book to see if it interests them. They’re often a few paragraphs long and include a brief overview of the book and a blurb about the genre or theme of the book.

They can be a lot of fun to write, and if you’re a good writer, they can pack a lot of information in a very short space. Just remember that a good book description should be intriguing enough to pull a reader in, but should also leave them wanting more without being too long to read.
