Writing Book Blurbs
I got a cover blurb written for my upcoming book Xeno-Spectre 2. Feeding the book into Claude helped get a start, but it still took a lot of editing.
Seriously, though, writing cover blurbs should definitely be robot work. I’ve always hated writing those. Continue reading “Writing Book Blurbs”
