You know your book in too much detail to summarize it briefly. Most authors who write their own blurbs try to include every subplot, explain the whole premise, or describe the book instead of selling it. A copywriter can step back and pick out the two or three things a reader actually needs to hear. That is what our blurb writers do. We read your book or a detailed synopsis, find the hook, and write copy that is short, specific, and true to the story.
We write back cover blurbs, retailer descriptions, short taglines, and series copy. Many authors order these together so the wording is consistent everywhere the book appears.
You get the editors, designers, and publishing know-how of a traditional house, but your book stays under your name and your control. You decide on the cover, the price, and where it sells.
Every project starts with a detailed consultation about your story, your readers and your goals. We get to know the book properly before writing, editing, or design begins, so the finished work reflects what you set out to say.
We do not take a share of your sales, and we never ask for your copyright or publishing rights. Every platform account is set up in your name, and the earnings go straight to you.
You see the cost of each service before work starts. You approve every file before anything is published, and you always know what stage your book is at.
A dedicated project manager keeps your schedule on track and replies when you have a question. If something on our side runs late, you hear it from us first.
We publish your book on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, and Kobo. We also set it up with IngramSpark, so bookstores and libraries in many countries can order copies.
We can help build your author brand and plan your launch. That covers social media, Amazon ads, A+ Content, author pages, and press features, all aimed at the readers most likely to buy your book.
A blurb is a small project, but it matters. Here is how we handle it.
Use your blurb on the cover, retailer pages, ads, your website, and press materials.

Blurbs are short projects, so drafts come back quickly and revision rounds keep moving.

Your cover attracts attention, and your blurb decides whether that attention turns into a sale. The American Book Services writes blurbs that are clear, short, and true to the book, so the right readers pick it up. Send us your manuscript or synopsis, and we will start by finding the hook.
Start ProjectChoosing a blurb is easier when you can see options side by side. We typically deliver two different approaches, perhaps one that leads with the main character and another that leads with the central conflict. You pick the one you prefer, or combine elements of both, and we refine it with you. We also check it against current bestsellers in your category to make sure it holds up next to them.
Start Project
Your back cover usually needs more than one piece of copy. We write the main blurb, a one line tagline for the top of the cover or for ads, and a short author bio that fits the space available. We count lines as well as words, because a blurb that fits a 6 by 9 inch paperback might be too long for a smaller trim size. Order your back cover copy from The American Book Services.

Our writers, editors, proofreaders, and designers have worked on novels, memoirs, nonfiction, children’s books, business titles, and academic writing. Every project is different, and we treat it that way, matching each book with people who know its genre and its readers. On the visual side, our illustrators and cover designers make sure each book looks as good as it reads, in print and online. Take a look at some of the books we have worked on.
Most authors end up juggling an editor, a designer, and a publisher, each with their own timeline. At The American Book Services, one team handles it all. That covers writing support, editing, proofreading, covers, illustrations, formatting, publishing, and promotion. You pick what your book needs and skip what it does not. You approve every step; your book is published under your name, and every royalty it earns goes straight to you.
Let’s Get Started
Before contacting us you might want to check whether your question is one of our FAQs.
At The American Book Services, we offer a complete range of writing and editing services, including book writing, ghostwriting, fiction writing, developmental editing, line editing, copyediting, and proofreading. Our writers and editors work closely with you at every stage, from the first outline to the final proofread, so your manuscript is polished, consistent, and ready for publication.
At The American Book Services, our design and illustration services include custom cover design, full print wraps with spine and back cover, interior formatting for print and eBook, and original illustrations such as character art, maps, and graphics. Every design is built to your genre and prepared to the exact specifications of your printer and retailers.
Yes. At The American Book Services, you keep 100% of the rights to your book, including your manuscript, cover, and artwork, and you make the final decisions on content, pricing, and distribution. We do not take any share of your royalties. All earnings are paid by the platforms directly into your own account.
At The American Book Services, timelines depend on the services your book needs. A finished manuscript that only needs editing, design, and publishing setup is completed much faster than a book written from scratch, which typically takes several months. Before any work begins, we give you a clear schedule with a date for every stage.
At The American Book Services, pricing depends on the services you choose, the length of your book, and the level of work involved. We do not force you into fixed packages, so you pay only for what your book actually needs. You receive a detailed written quote before work begins, with no hidden fees.
Yes. At The American Book Services, nothing is published without your approval. You review and sign off on your outline, edits, cover design, and final proofs, and a dedicated project manager keeps you informed and answers your questions throughout the process.
