Requesting Author Blurbs

It’s happening!! My editor and I are putting together a list of cozy fantasy authors to blurb my manuscript!

What’s a Blurb?

Simply put, you send your book to an author in the same genre as you, they read it, and they provide a few quotes/feedback on what they thought of the book. You’ve likely noticed these on the front of your favourite books, where so and so is quoted saying something like, “This book moved me!” or, “I read it in one sitting!”

Who Are You Reaching Out To?

I wish I could tell you!! But it’s a secret for now. Let’s just say we’re reaching out to some of my all-time favourite authors. I’m screaming inside. And outside, but you can’t hear that.

Are There Any Authors Who Won’t Blurb You?

Yes! Some will be too busy. In fact, some of the obvious cozy fantasy authors we wanted to reach out to aren’t currently available for blurbs—which makes sense! Authors are incredibly busy people. Many have day jobs, and that’s when they’re not writing the next three manuscripts or traipsing around the country for book signings and author events.

What’s Next?

Once we finalize a list, the publishing team takes over, reaching out to these uber-talented writers. Fingers crossed some of them are willing/able to read Hero Adjacent!
