New book Description

I read Bryan Cohen’s book How to write a Sizzling Synopsis. Authors put too much information in their book descriptions. We want to start with the background information, introduce all main characters and explain what will happen to them. We need to simplify by only introducing the main character.

I was guilty as charged. I have rewritten mine. What do you think?

Jessica Hewitt fled from her life and everyone who knew her. She joined the WSC Space Force and volunteered for the Akiane Project.

The round trip to Pegasus Colony on the planet Akiane in the Pegasus Constellation will take thirteen years and four months, plenty of time for her head to clear and for people to forget her. Once she returned home, she could start over anonymously.

She did not expect to be commissioned as Earth’s first Galactic Ambassador to a colony isolated from Earth for over 300 years. Jessica’s mission is to reunite Pegasus Colony with its home planet.

If she succeeds, she will become a worldwide household name, not just on Earth but on its four Solar Colonies as well. So much for anonymity.

If she fails, she will be responsible for Earth’s first galactic takeover.
