The book is about copy writing, but it has a lot of great tips for eBook writers as well.1) Use short simple words and sentences.2) If you find yourself using big words, go back and use a smaller word.3) Write as if you are talking to a 12 year old.4) Readers don't really read. They scan or hunt through your pages to see if they contain copy that interests them. Use plenty of headings, sub-headings, and bullet points.The book likens copy writing to dating, and each chapter has one or two exercises to help you practice the skills you are learning. I've got to admit, I'm too much of a lazy ass to do that.Like I said, I will use a lot of these tips when I'm writing my eBooks. They should help me to write clearer and more compelling copy. I also think it will help a lot for writing my book descriptions.For $2.99, you'd be crazy not to give this book a read.
