#PublishingReinvented 143 - Using Emotions in Your Book Description. Can AI Help? + AI narrated Audiobooks anyone?
Below is one example showing an AI analysis of a book description edited after the analysis is done by a human to quality check the AI’s work.
This emotional analysis provides information for authors of similar books on how to construct a compelling book description on Amazon. It shows how emotion is being used repeatedly in this Amazon book description from a traditional publisher for this huge best seller.
This analysis can be done for any book on Amazon. We are doing this now at BooksGoSocial.
The book description uses multiple emotional hooks to persuade readers to buy the book, for example:
Nostalgia and Connection to a Beloved Series: The description mentions that the book is a prequel to "XXX YYY," a well-known and beloved series. This connection can make readers who enjoyed the original series feel nostalgic and eager to delve back into the world they loved. Example: "ZZZ is a historical epic that ends where The XXX YYY left off."
Intrigue and Conflict: The description sets up a time of conflict and chaos, capturing readers' interest by promising a story full of tension and upheaval. Example: "It is 1949. The leader’s grip on the country is fragile and chaos reigns."
Relatable Characters with Aspirations: The description introduces three central characters who have dreams and aspirations, making them relatable to readers who may see themselves in these characters' struggles and desires. Example: "A young airplane builder dreams of a better future after a devastating crash shatters the life he hoped for."
Human Struggles and Emotional Themes: The book description mentions themes of ambition, rivalry, love, and hate, which are universal human emotions and experiences. This can entice readers who enjoy stories that delve into human relationships and emotions. Example: "an epic tale of ambition, rivalry, love and hate."
High Stakes and Danger: The description creates a sense of danger by introducing a ruthless antagonist, promising readers a thrilling story with high stakes. Example: "These three people will each come into dangerous conflict with a ruthless banker, who will do anything to increase his wealth and power."
AI audiobooks anyone?
We are assessing whether to provide an AI narrated audiobook service and are looking for authors willing to get involved.
There is a fee, but we are willing to pay half (a few hundred dollars) for a share of the audiobook royalties.
That share will be agreed in advance and will arise because we will promote the AI audiobook on the new BookFunnel audiobook app & page with no charge to you.
Apple also allows AI audiobook narration but Amazon and Audible do not.
