In reply to David Rothwell. Thanks and glad you liked it. Yeah, big difference in the way the story is presented. One was more of a book report, while the other entices and is more like a movie trailer narration.

Fascinating and really useful. I particularly like the before and after comparison. I first read it in 1992 and I still love the story!

As always, I SO appreciate the details and “how tos” you offer authors. My son is writing a sci-fi novel and we were recently working on the description. After reading this, I think we’ll go back and make some revisions. Thanks again!

I’d read this post earlier and had made a mental note to try it when I wrote my next Kindle book which I did yesterday and used the description maker.It worked like a dream! Thank you, David. You rock!

In reply to Billy J Atwell. Thanks and best of luck with it. Until Amazon Ads, I truly did not understand how powerful a book description really was in the online world.

Dave, seriously! This has got to be one of the best tips/resources ever! After a week of starting ad on Amazon, getting a lot of impressions, but only one sale…set off and spent about an hour split-testing my book description and discovered in need to change the title for the description and add an additional opening sentence. LOVE IT!

I am going to use this for The Antimatter and the #WriteNation book. Awesome, Dave Chesson! I’ll also recommend this with my fans and audience.

Awesome!
Now I want to write a book description for The Slight Edge or David Weber’s Safehold series!
