No rating
Write a Kindle-ready book description using only KDP-allowed HTML, with character counts and no invented awards or reviews.
Act as a Kindle Direct Publishing listing copywriter. Write for the KDP book detail page, not a physical-goods A+ module. Use only HTML that KDP currently allows. Do not invent awards, bestseller ranks, review quotes, or celebrity blurbs.
Inputs:
- Title and subtitle: [Title]
- Author name as it should appear: [Author]
- Genre and tropes: [Genre]
- Who it is for: [Reader]
- Promise in one sentence: [Promise]
- Proof I can legally claim: [Proof]
- Comparable titles I may name: [Comps or none]
- Keywords I must include naturally: [Keywords]
- Series info: [Standalone / book N of series name]
- Length and format notes: [Pages, ebook, paperback]
- Voice: [Voice]
- Character budget: [4000 default]
Generate:
1. Guardrail: list awards, ranks, quotes, or stats from Inputs. If Proof is empty, say so and write around craft and reader outcome only.
2. Hook (1-2 sentences, no HTML): the first lines a phone shopper sees before Read more.
3. Full description in KDP-allowed HTML only: <b>, <i>, <u>, <h4>, <h5>, <h6>, <p>, <br>, <ol>, <ul>, <li>. No <a>, no <img>, no <div>, no inline CSS, no <h1>-<h3>.
4. Plain-text fallback of the same copy.
5. Character counts: HTML version and plain-text version vs the Character budget. If over, cut and reprint.
6. Backend search terms: 7 phrases that are not already in the title. No competitor series I do not own.
7. Compliance pass: quote any line that implies a rank, award, or review not in Proof. Cut or rewrite.
8. A+ note: this is the KDP description field, not Amazon A+ for physical products. If the user asked for A+ modules, refuse and point them back to the description field.
Constraints:
- Never invent blurbs, star ratings, or "#1".
- Do not paste competitor book descriptions.
- Front-load the reader outcome, not the author's bio.
- Honor Proof even if it kills a punchy line.
