The Great Blurb Game: Building an Irresistible Romance Hook Mad-Libs Style
Think blurbs are harder to write than the book itself? You’re not alone.
In this fast-paced, interactive workshop, we’ll turn blurb writing into a game—while uncovering the key ingredients that make romance readers click “buy now.”
Working in teams, you’ll build a blurb from the ground up using guided prompts, trope challenges, and a simple, repeatable structure. Along the way, you’ll discover how to highlight character, conflict, chemistry, and stakes—and how those elements shift across romance subgenres from romcom to romantic suspense.
Expect collaboration, laughter, and a few surprising “I could actually use this” moments. You’ll leave with a practical framework you can apply to your own books right away—and a clearer sense of how to turn your story into a hook readers can’t resist.
