Looking for Blurbs (I hope not in all the wrong places)
Hi, All. I am ready to publish my nongenre, realistic YA novel (using CreateSpace) but am hoping to get blurbs for the back cover first. Is there a YA author who has published realistic fiction who would be willing to look at an excerpt and/or synopsis to see if she (or he) might agree to read the ms. and write a blurb? I have already published a (not YA) novel--made into a movie--with a traditional publisher and would be more than happy to reciprocate. Thanks!See More
