Few things are more challenging for me to write than a simple tagline. Summing up a 250 page novel into one catchy sentence isn’t for the faint of heart. Yet, some authors manage this task so well. My latest tagline for the soon-to-be released A Sour Note is revealed in today’s featured image. But todays post focuses on some of the best taglines I’ve come across. Be sure to scroll to the bottom for tagline resources.
