Ficton vs Nonfiction Book Blurb What's the Difference
The fiction book blurb is really quite different than the nonfiction book blurb. Did you know that? They really serve two different purposes as do the books.
Fiction stories are meant to take the reader on an adventure, remove them from their everyday lives. It can let them live vicariously through someone else. Reading fiction is like stepping into someone else’s shoes and being right there on their journey and seeing how they handle all that’s coming at them. Essentially, how they handle life. We want to go on the mystery of where the story is going. Will the protagonist win or succeed – solve the murder, find the love of their life, overcome their illness, figure out ‘life’… or fail – they become the next victim, they don’t find their true love, they don’t figure out ‘life’…
If they win or succeed how will they do it? If they fail, how will that happen? We want that whole package of the roller coaster up and down of life.
