How To Create The Perfect Back Cover For A Children’s Book
You’ve poured your heart and soul into writing your children’s book, and now it’s time to consider the finishing touch that will complete your masterpiece: the back cover.
In this piece, I will dive into how to create an excellent and professional back cover for your children’s book.
The Back Cover’s Crucial Role: The Blurb and ISBN Barcode
The back cover of your children’s book is a blank canvas waiting to be filled with meaningful elements.
Its primary purpose is to present a concise description of your book, often called a “blurb,” and display the all-important ISBN barcode.
The blurb offers potential readers a glimpse into your story, helping them determine if your book aligns with their interests. A well-crafted blurb includes key buzzwords highlighting your book’s essence and appeal.
The ISBN barcode, essential for printed books meant for resale, is another integral part of the back cover.
The unique identifier distinguishes your book and enables retailers to manage inventory and sales.
