book blurbs for real

Over the years, I’ve had the honour and pleasure of being asked to supply back cover blurbs for a variety of books, poetry collections and even a play script—and found I really enjoyed the process of reading the work and distilling my thoughts in order to promote the story. It allows me to express my own creativity while shouting out someone else’s.

Below is a slideshow of covers and blurbs from:

Heather Babcock‘s debut novel Filthy Sugar (Inanna Publications)

Philip Cairns‘ poetry collection Hollywood Poems and Other Diversions (Purple Poet Press)

Brandon Pitts’ play Killcreek (IOWI)

Brandon Pitts’ poetry collection Tender in the Age of Fury (Mosaic Press)

Teige Reid’s YA novel Gate Crasher

I’m Cate (she/her)
