Loved this insght!

Hi Jack! Great webinar. I would love to take you up on the offer for a critique on my blurb for my horror-fantasy novel, Under a God-Made Mountain: In the halls of a living nightmare, survival means confronting the darkness you cannot escape. Melk found his life in the jaws of a lion. As an orphan who knew only violence, he found purpose as a tamer of the great war cats used in his nation's crusade. But when an act of defiance seals his fate, he is banished to Mount Methugarna, a labyrinth said to be home to unspeakable horrors. Beneath, five other criminals await the same doom. Together, the depraved company must navigate the mountain’s cursed depths. But survival is not the only test-something far worse than death stalks the corridors. As Melk battles the monsters outside and within, he realizes that his greatest enemy may be the darkness that has always lurked inside his soul. Under a God-Made Mountain is a fast-paced, horror fantasy journey through the darkness that lurks within us and beneath our feet that would appeal to fans of the horror in Pan’s Labyrinth and the coming-of-age story of The Book of Lost Things.

Jack, I'd love a critique of The House on Constantinople. Thanks so much for this webinar.

Your audio is really low in the beginning

Hi Jack. I enjoyed the call yesterday and appreciated how much time you put into it. I didn't ask about my book blurb but would like to take advantage of doing that here now. So, here's the blurb: Katie didn’t expect the most haunted castle in Europe to hold the answers to an incredible family secret. During a summer studying abroad in Transylvania, she finds herself at the gates of Bran Castle, the one time prison of medieval ruler, Vlad “The Impaler.” More recently, in life, Bran Castle was home to the King and Queen of Romania. In death, the castle was home to just the queen’s heart. Now, along with 15-year-old Katie’s friends Cam, John, and new roommate Ruth, she uncovers a century-old mystery and a terrifying adventure. Will haunting spirits from the past lead her to safety and treasure, or push her into the hands of a deadly ex-secret policeman hunting for the same prize? Thanks again for your time

Thank you so much for doing this! When his girlfriend dumps him right before his best friend’s wedding, Zach panics and asks the new girl at work to be his plus one. No one at the weddings ever met his ex, so this should save on the drama. Right? Wrong. Despite everything, Zach and Sky have a great time, and she fits right in with his friends. After years trying to make everyone but himself happy, Zach has finally found someone who likes him for the right reasons. But Sky’s got secrets, like the fact that she’s living in her car, and she’s afraid spending more time with Zach might unravel them. But when her past catches up to her, she’s in way over her head. It might take more than a lifeguard to come to the rescue.

My Romance Blurb: “Either we’ll fall deeply in love, or I’ll kill her.” With independence and fortune, Francesca Grey has the freedom to seek excitement. So when she finds a secret message about French spies, her keen intuition leads her to a new and dangerous purpose. But when Francesca teams up with an undercover agent, her heart will pound for different reasons. Discover if Francesca can bravely escape a cliff fall, capture upon an enemy ship, or the enchanting gentle ways of the king’s agent. Amid love and dangers, Francesca must choose to leap into the deep. Sebastian Buckingham, on the hunt for a French sympathizer, has no time for romance. Yet, since his newfound ally enjoys putting her life on the line, more than just his false identity is at risk. Sebastian’s untouched heart never knew fear until his enemies chose Francesca as their target. He must make her understand that his world of espionage is too dangerous for a lady … before it’s too late! Please critique here if you would please.

Thanks so much for this - and the critique on my blurb! I've already had a go at rewriting it ... Two murders, a party of disguised suspects, and a seaside village full of cake. Why send invitations to a party in a building which doesn't yet exist? Why plan and pay for it anonymously and insist guests come in disguise? Police Officer Crystal Clere is only mildly curious, as she has a murder to solve. And cakes to bake, romances to fix, friends and an elderly relative in need of help. When the new hall is built, and Crystal belatedly receives a party invitation, there's an opportunity to solve some of her problems. Wearing a fake moustache she's having fun and making progress, until one of the guests is murdered. Community spirit is strong in Little Mallow and everyone seems to be involved. Half are suspects - all with alibis. The many witnesses don't know what they saw. Crystal is asking, and being asked, countless questions. Who planned and paid for the party? Are they the killer? Is there a link with the first murder? Nobody is giving her answers, but she's assisted by an extremely unofficial sidekick and her friends are happy to supply far-fetched theories. Can Crystal Clere see through all the distraction to bring love and justice to Little Mallow?

Thanks, Jack! Appreciate the thoughts! I'll give this a shot.

I also think a handy new feature would be automatic recommendation on group promos that we would be to good join. Sometimes there's an overwhelming amount of promos out there, and it be nice if we could be recommended a good fit for a certain promo based on click requirements, sub-genres, previous history, etc...

Hi Jack! Me again (I hope you don't mind!) A follow up question on the first FB ads video... I've been running a generic ad (as demonstrated in the webinar) to a landing page for my free reader magnet for close to two weeks now. I'm getting clicks, but not downloads/people not joining my mailing list. Do you think this a problem with the ad or my offering? My reader magnet is currently a 16 story fantasy anthology collection of my work.

Thank you! This was awesome!

Lots to think about here. Thanks.

Thanks Jack!

This is one of the best tutorials I've taken ref FB. Thank you!

FB ad newbie here. Thank you for this. Great info.

Good information. I am going to have to listen to it again before placing my first ads. With summer at its end, what month do you suggest running the first adds?

Thanks, Jack! You rock! Reader magnets are in progress thanks to you other content on the subject!

Hi Jack! Curious on your thoughts for a current launch strategy for a both a brand new series and/or another book in a current series!

Excellent webinar by Jack and company. Thank you 😊
