- Inciting Incident — What goes catastrophically wrong?
- Stakes — What happens if they fail? (Personal + universal)
- Cliffhanger — End with a question that DEMANDS the reader buy the book
- Social Proof — Comp line or review quote
Blurb Formula (Nonfiction)
- Problem — What pain point does the reader have?
- Promise — What will this book deliver?
- Credibility — Why should they trust this author?
- Preview — What will they learn? (3-5 key takeaways)
