Re: Do you judge a book by its cover? (Literally.)

Nope, because I know that authors often have no say in the cover art. I do judge by the summary, though.

They don't get a say in that either.

The marketing team is brutal.

I know. But I need a book to at least sound semi-interesting in terms of plot, worldbuilding, and/or characters. I'll read reviews too and see if it has a tvtropes page.

Oh same. Same. Definitely need to get hooked at least on the concept.

I think it might be a good thing most authors don't summarize their own books. It's a skill and there are a lot of terrible blurbs out there by authors who write them themselves. Author's biggest fear: people saying "Tell me about your book."

(My fave advice I've seen is "Make it more punchy." And I'm like... that doesn't mean anything to anyone. Be more specific. Characters, conflict, stakes. Expound.)
