    Questions about blurb critiquing...

    Discussion in 'Blurb Critique' started by Rath Darkblade, Sep 22, 2024.

    ... my question is simple. :) For each story I wrote, I drew up three summaries:

    1. a one-to-two sentence summary, for when people ask at parties etc., "What's your story about?"

    2. a one-paragraph summary, for submissions to agents etc.

    3. a back-cover blurb. This is slightly longer than #2, but not by much. (As an example, for one of my stories, the one-para summary is 68 words, and the blurb is 85).

    So, here are my questions:

    1. Are there any rules about what I can submit for critique (e.g. either a blurb, or all three above etc.?)

    2. Are there any length limits for a blurb, or any rules? Or is it free-form, "write what you feel like)?

    Thanks! :)
