Try to convey not just the place, but the importance of its role. That might mean bringing in conflict or raising a question that involves the setting.
06.03.2025 11:00 β π 28 π 7 π¬ 71 π 4Interesting discussion re use of author blurbing authors
The problem is unlike movies who have trailers, music who have Spotify, theatre who have reviews and permanent venues, books are purely cover, title, name and blurb to send a message in seconds when browsing.
#Author blurb is a signifier.
BBC budget astronomically higher than PBS. Service would have to be drastically reduced from where it is now if it was funded through general taxation, which would also be hugely vuneraable to huge cuts from a future right leaning government.

UNESCO will shortly be designating The Bakerloo Line a protected world heritage site.

What's interesting about this trend for book marketing AI companiesβwho secure Β£Xmil in seed funding, get a write-up in the Bookseller, and will now wither away, leaving only a slime trail of AI generated goop across the surface of cultureβis mainly what it says about capitalβs engagement with books
