This week we have a very special guest - Glenna Mageau, book blurb coach and writer extraordinaire - who takes us through how to write a blurb that sells more books. Glenna has a proven system she uses to improve her own book blurbs and she's been teaching other authors how to do the same thing as well. This is a fantastic episode - we really enjoyed chatting to Glenna, she's a lovely lady with a wealth of knowledge. We all picked up loads of useful blurb writing tips and we're sure you will too!

If you're about to start formatting, or even considering a change to the way you're currently doing it, this is a great episode to listen to!
