Re-Write of a Book Blurb

Occasionally I like to re-write a book blurb because it’s leaving so much unsaid. When writing a non-fiction book blurb especially, we need to focus on the specific group of end readers and what problems they want solved. How does the material match those problems? How can their dreams be helped on track by these pearls of wisdom? Let’s see how it works in this example (re-write is below the original).

If You Use ChatGPT for Book Writing, a Word to the Wise

Last week I bought a Kindle book about Mastering your own Public Relations. Firstly, if you use a title along those lines, you will attract people wanting to DIY their brand publicity/PR and expecting some handy tips. Using Chatbots can help with getting ideas for chapter titles because they will make the titles in a similar fashion that you can then adjust. But for words? Well, let’s see where the use of ChatGPT for writing all went wrong.There were some real entrepreneur stories of success in the eBook, and these were the ideas I wanted to be taken deeper into.When the author used some survey results, the arguments were not fleshed out.

Many women (and some men) struggle with undercharging for their services and wondering why success remains elusive.
