Romance blurb template

Trope: [enemies-to-lovers / fake dating / forced proximity]

[NAME] has one rule: never fall for [TYPE OF PERSON].

But when [INCITING INCIDENT] forces them into [TROPE SETUP], the last thing they expect is [CHEMISTRY / VULNERABILITY].

Now [EXTERNAL STAKES] and [INTERNAL FEAR] collide.

If [NAME] can’t [CHOICE / ACTION], they’ll lose [WHAT MATTERS]… and the one person they swore they’d never want.

Perfect for fans of [COMPARABLE TITLE/AUTHOR] and [COMPARABLE TITLE/AUTHOR].

Tip: make the external stakes specific (deadline, threat, secret, betrayal).

Thriller blurb template

Hook: [missing person / hidden identity / revenge]

When [INCITING INCIDENT], [PROTAGONIST] realizes [DISTURBING TRUTH].

The police think it’s [SIMPLE EXPLANATION]. They’re wrong.

With [TIME LIMIT] and [ANTAGONIST FORCE] closing in, [PROTAGONIST] must [HIGH-RISK ACTION]—before [WORST OUTCOME].

Because the next name on the list is [PERSONAL STAKES].

Tip: add 1 “specific weird detail” to make it feel real.

Cozy mystery blurb template

Setting: [small town / bookstore / bakery]

All [NAME] wanted was [COZY GOAL] in [COZY SETTING].

Then [BODY / CRIME] turns up right after [EVENT], and suddenly everyone is a suspect.

With help from [QUIRKY SIDEKICK] (and a reluctant [LOVE INTEREST COP / DETECTIVE]), [NAME] follows a trail of [CLUES]—and uncovers [SECRET].

But when [THREAT ESCALATION], [NAME] must solve the mystery… before the killer strikes again.
