Lesson 3: Back Cover Copy That Sells Books

Testimonials make great back cover copy!

One of my readers shared another key idea for back cover copy: testimonials. Linda Condrillo had a suggestion for the back cover:

Visualize what you want on the back cover—including rave reviews from prolific authors. Then send your final (perfect) manuscript to those authors, or other prominent people you admire or even know. Ask them to write a review for your back cover (and also have a sample of suggested text waiting, just in case they ask you for it).

You may be very surprised at the responses! I did just that. Voila!

Linda’s strategy outlined above is the same strategy I’ve used on the back cover of my 1001 Ways to Market Your Books. Here’s the latest version of my back cover:

If you collect the right testimonials from a variety of people talking about how they use your book in a variety of way, those testimonials can really sell a book. Are you convinced by any of the testimonials above. I know that I get inspired by the testimonials whenever I read them. They keep me going.
