A short marketing hook for your cover and ads
A book tagline is the short hook that sits on your cover or leads your ad. Unlike a description, it does not explain the plot; it creates a feeling or a question in a handful of words. Describe your book and get taglines built to stop a scroll.
What is a book tagline?
A tagline is a short marketing line, usually under ten words, designed to hook rather than explain. It goes on the cover above or below the title, and it anchors ads and social posts. Think "Be afraid. Be very afraid." rather than a summary of what happens.
Where do I use a tagline?
On the cover, in advertising, in social posts and at the top of your description. It is the first thing a scrolling reader processes, so it works hardest in ad thumbnails where you have a fraction of a second to earn a second look.
Tagline or logline, which do I need?
Both, for different jobs. A logline explains the story in a sentence for pitches and queries. A tagline sells a feeling in a few words for covers and ads. The tagline is intrigue; the logline is clarity.
