An AI book blurb generator for the book already in your INKFLOW library

A blurb has a narrow job. In a few short paragraphs it has to say whose story this is, what they want, what stands in the way and why a stranger should find out what happens, without giving the ending away. It is the hardest page to write about your own book, because you know everything in it.

INKFLOW's Blurb Builder writes one blurb for a book in your INKFLOW library. That same blurb is used wherever the book needs a description: inside the EPUB, in the text for the KDP description box, and on the back cover. One blurb in three places means the book says the same thing about itself everywhere.

The blurb is AI-generated, like the book. Read it as a buyer would and change any line that promises more than the book delivers.

Getting a blurb from the Blurb Builder

  1. 1
    Have the book in your library
    The Blurb Builder works on a book in your INKFLOW library. If you are starting from nothing, the first three chapters are written free from one sentence at /start, with no card.
  2. 2
    Run the Blurb Builder
    Run it on that book. It writes a single blurb for it, not a list of options to choose between.
  3. 3
    Read it as a stranger
    Does it name the main character, the problem and the stakes? Does it give away a twist? Cut anything the book does not support.
  4. 4
    Check it where it appears
    Because the same blurb serves the EPUB, the KDP description box and the back cover, look at it in each place before you publish, so the wording on your cover and your store page agree.

What a good book blurb does

Hooks first
The opening line is often all a browser reads. It should promise the kind of book this is in one specific sentence. Use that as a test for the draft.
A person and a problem
Readers want one character to care about and the trouble they are in, not a roll call of the cast.
Stakes, not plot
A blurb says what could be lost. It does not walk through the story chapter by chapter.
Genre signals
Tone and wording that tell a romance reader, a thriller reader or a fantasy reader that this book is for them.
No spoilers
The ending, the killer and the twist stay out of it.

Back cover blurb and Amazon description: the differences

A back cover has room for a short blurb and perhaps a line of praise. An online description can run longer and is often read on a phone, in small blocks. Because INKFLOW uses one blurb for both, keep it tight enough for the cover. If you want a longer store description, write the extra paragraphs yourself in KDP.

On paid plans INKFLOW exports the KDP paperback interior and the cover PDF, as well as Word, EPUB and a print-ready page you can save as PDF. Check the blurb on the back of the cover before you upload it.

What the blurb generator does not do

It does not write blurbs for books outside your INKFLOW library, it does not pick your Amazon categories or keywords, and it does not write advertising copy or author biographies. It cannot promise sales either: a blurb helps a reader decide, it does not decide for them.

Amazon asks whether a book's text is AI-generated. A book written with INKFLOW is, even after you edit it, so answer KDP's questions honestly when you publish.

Questions

Can I paste in any book and get a blurb?
No. The Blurb Builder works on a book in your INKFLOW library. It is not a free-standing box for any text.
How many blurbs does it write?
One per book. It is a single blurb that the EPUB description, the KDP description box and the back cover share.
Is the blurb AI-generated?
Yes. Treat it as a draft: read it aloud, check every claim against the book and rewrite whatever does not sound like you.
Will a better blurb sell more copies?
A clear blurb helps the right reader recognise the book, but no blurb can promise sales, and INKFLOW makes no such promise.
