Sales Copy for New Book

Updated: Oct 11, 2024

There's a language to traditional publishing, as well as a rigorous schedule of dates, releases, last edits, and marketing guidelines. It's so exciting, and definitely stressful. So what is #salescopy? In short, it's the content at the back of your book.


Here's mine!


(Tagline: In typical serial killer novels, the victims are a footnote. In this book, they’re

the whole story.)


Betty. Tina. Sarah. Leslie. Chrissy. Sheena. Sherry. Lena. Debbie. Ashley.


The ten victims in The Furious Others lived ordinary lives until serial killer Jason

LeDown entered stage left, knife in hand, with a belly full of bad intentions. That’s where

fear is found, in the space between a typical Friday and a man intent on murder. The

fictional characters in The Furious Others depict real people: mothers, lovers, hip-hop

aficionados, and green thumbs, united by the tragedy of lost lives.

Author and clinical psychologist Dr. Ashley Baker PSYD envisions a fictional world

where the murderer is not the main character in the serial killer trope. Instead of

exploring Jason Le Down’s methods of madness, Dr. Baker chooses to honor the

victims rather than romanticize monsters.


As a condition of Jason’s LeDown’s purgatory, those he harmed reflect on their

humanity, proving they’re more than crime scene photos or roadside crosses. In this

multiple point of view novel, the deceased blaze a fast-paced trail, recounting their last

moments, with tentacles of grief stretching across timelines.


In this book, Dr. Baker, drawing from her own experience of devastating loss, paints a

vivid picture of collective trauma and sorrow. The quest for closure drives the story to its

gripping conclusion, making The Furious Others a powerful testament to the strength of

the human spirit.


I hope this makes you want to pick up and read more! :) It typically is limited to 150-250 words, and I capped mine at 200- so right in the middle.
