CLO: Students will be able to offer written constructive feedback to their peers in order to help them revise their work before final due date. 1. Please use the provided critique paper and thoughtfully answer the top 2 questions on the sheet. Try to identify at least 1 area you want targeted feedback on, for instance: "I'd like feedback on how I can more creatively format my flaps with the copy writing on them". Then discuss your copywriting and one thing you'd like to improve. 2. Then LEAVE YOUR PAPER at your desk and circulate around the room. Please comment on 4 different artworks answering the prompts on the front and back of the paper. Make sure to leave your initials for credit. When you return to your seat, please read the feedback and fill out the reflection below. CLO: Students will be able to complete the cover copy for their book jackets including promotional writing, and biographical writing. Cover copy is all part of your cover and the initial impression your reader will have about your book. It’s also the world’s smallest space for turning a potential reader to into a sold purchaser. You need to grab your target customer’s attention and MAKE HIM OR HER BUY… all in two paragraphs or less… and you thought writing your book was tough – creating less than 300 words of copy from a 100,000-word manuscript is difficult to say the least- there is so much you want to say! KEEP IT SIMPLE!! The best promotional and cover copy doesn’t cover every character, scene, plot twist, or feature of your book. Remember this – the goal of your promotional copy is to ENGAGE your reader, CREATE a desire to buy your book, and DELIVER a brief summary of your book. It’s about being descriptive without being all-inclusive and cumbersome, engaging but not exaggerated. Your cover text should complement your book – but never, ever over or understate what your book will do for the reader.
