So, one has to give a lot of time in the title before starting the process of publication. Title &amp; the book cover is the first impression the readers will create in mind.&nbsp;<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those appealing title make the readers want to know:<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-container gspb_container gspb_container-gsbp-f3450-2\" id=\"gspb_container-id-gsbp-f3450-2\" data-aos=\"fade\" data-aos-easing=\"ease\" data-aos-duration=\"500\" data-aos-once=\"true\"><ul class=\"wp-block-list ah-cards\"><li><em>What actually the book is about?<\/em><\/li><li><em>What does the title want to convey?&nbsp;<\/em><\/li><\/ul><\/div><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And then will eventually go to the book description part.

People mostly buy a book after seeing the attractive fancy cover. Authors usually hire a graphic designer unless they themselves are one of them.&nbsp;<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The designers create covers relevant to the content of the book and which actually defines the title. If the cover is simple and sloppy then it may not grab readers attention. The cover should consist of a design which stands out and is eye catchy.&nbsp;<\/p><h2 id=\"book-description\" class=\"wp-block-heading ah-numbered\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Book_Description\"><\/span><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">Book Description<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Readers reach the book description page after they are cajoled towards the title and the book cover. Research a lot that ideally a good book description consists of. Well this is another topic which needs in depth explanation but in short authors need not only write a summary instead mention the trigger points which instill curiosity among the readers. Those description should be like the one which have the feeling of:<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-container gspb_container gspb_container-gsbp-f3450-3\" id=\"gspb_container-id-gsbp-f3450-3\" data-aos=\"fade\" data-aos-easing=\"ease\" data-aos-duration=\"500\" data-aos-once=\"true\"><ul class=\"wp-block-list ah-cards\"><li><em>What will happen next?&nbsp;<\/em><\/li><li><em>What was the reason behind it?&nbsp;<\/em><\/li><li><em>What led it to do such a thing?<\/em><\/li><\/ul><\/div><p class=\"ah-callout wp-block-paragraph\">The description should rather be like a sales script ready to persuade the buyers to buy it.
