Book to Blurb reads your book and tells you what it actually is.
Upload your manuscript. Ten minutes later you get an honest positioning report — blurb, keywords, and categories. Written for your book, in the language readers actually use.
What do you get in a Book to Blurb report?
A complete positioning report — blurbs, keywords, and categories — all based on actually reading your manuscript. Not tips. Not a template. Six sections built from your book.
Where your book actually lands — pricing, length, KU, competition.
We compare your book against current Amazon bestseller data for your genre: is your price in line, your word count typical, your competition established or beatable? Context, not promises.
- Word count & price vs. genre averages
- KU adoption rate in your categories
- Competition context for your genre
A safe blurb and a swing — copy-paste ready for KDP.
Every listing lives and dies on its description. You get two fully-formatted blurbs: one that hits the conventions of your genre, one that takes a risk. Both are tested against your book’s actual premise, tone, and pacing. HTML formatting included.
- A/B variants with genre reasoning
- Bold-tag formatting Amazon actually renders
- One-click copy button — ready for KDP
A curse two centuries old. A hound out of nightmare. A moor that keeps its secrets.
When Sir Charles Baskerville dies on the path behind his ancestral hall — with the footprints of an enormous hound beside him — Sherlock Holmes sends Dr. Watson alone to the fog-choked Devon moors. The last heir of the Baskerville line has fourteen days to live. Something is already hunting him.
28+ unique keywords that describe what your book actually is.
Most authors burn half their keyword slots on words like mystery and thrillerthey’ve already used. We read the whole book and fill all 7 fields with specific phrases in reader language — checked against Amazon’s autocomplete to confirm readers use those words. Plus three KDP category recommendations.
- Seven fields, zero repeats — every slot counts
- Category paths with a ready-to-send KDP email
- Checked against real Amazon autocomplete data
Version A and Version B — different angles on the same book.
You get two complete Amazon descriptions with genuinely different approaches. One leads with character, the other with atmosphere. Pick the one that feels right, or A/B test them.
- Two distinct blurb angles · not minor rewrites
- HTML-formatted · paste straight into KDP
- Sell the experience · not a plot summary
How should you fill Amazon’s 7 keyword fields?
With specific reader-language phrases, not genre labels. Most authors fill the fields with variations of “mystery / thriller / suspense”and call it done. Amazon cross-indexes all seven — repeats do nothing. Book to Blurb reads your book and fills them properly.
