Get noticed by an agent. Learn why your blurb isn't working and how to fix it.
You’ve spent hours, days, maybe even years perfecting your book blurb. You’ve annoyed your spouse, cousins, and friends, asking them all to read it and share an opinion. By the time you get their feedback, you’re more confused than ever.
It’s arguably the most important part of your query letter, but discovering whether or not you have a knockout book blurb is nearly impossible. Why? Because anyone can offer you an opinion on it, but not everyone knows what it should look like.
Big Book Analytics offers an unbiased approach. Using AI technology, paired with insights from literary agents and published authors, BBA analyzes your book blurb based on Twelve Criteria:
- Setting
- Context
- Memorable Protagonist
- Clear Protagonist Desire
- Main Conflict
- Central Dilemma
- Teased Possible Consequences
- Writing Quality
- Mood and Atmosphere
- Unique Selling Proposition (USP)
- Target Audience Appeal
- Grammar and Spelling
You’ll receive a score for each section, plus a final grade (1-100%), with detailed feedback on what you’ve done well and what needs improvement.
In addition, you’ll receive:
- 5 loglines: One-sentence pitches of your book for query letters, social media, and more.
- 5 “This Book is Like” comparisons: Mashups of movies and books to help pitch your book.
No more bugging your cousins—learn why your blurb isn't working, so you can get noticed by a literary agent.
