While I’m on the Caribbean island of Utila, I’m writing and researching a new romantic adventure novel set in the Caribbean.I’ve been asked to provide a short synopsis of the novel by the end of this month to the lovely publicist who is organising it’s launch tour later this year.
I’m only on chapter three so far with this novel but I’ve already had to work in advance and decide on a title - ‘
Castaway in the Caribbean’ - and have the cover designed.
I do love this cover...!
A ‘short synopsis’ is the story description ‘blurb’ you’d expect to read on the back cover of the book. It’s meant to entice you into wanting to read and buy the book and tell you what it’s all about without actually giving away any spoilers or telling you how the story ends.
All writers know how hard this is to do – especially for a book that’s not finished yet. So I’ve had a bash at writing one but before I email it off – if you are a reader or a writer I’d really appreciate your opinion and input.
Question: Do you think my ‘story blurb synopsis’ for Castaway in the Caribbean ticks all the right boxes or do you have anything to suggest from the outline below that I might do differently?
Please feel free to leave a comment, message me on FB or Twitter or send an email Love, Janice xx
