The Internet hosts HEAPS of advice for new writers and new authors. I do not weigh in on those, because publishing is a business where your mileage may vary. I'm doing what works for me! Today, I have a single piece of advice for new authors: think carefully about your cover art. My publisher and I agreed on the cover for Life Before, and it truly fits the story, but I hadn't realized it would be everywhere. It's on my business cards, all over my website, on posters when I speak at book stores, and on name tags at book events. The cover was perfect for Xander, but I'm not really a dirty Chucks kind of girl. Next Thursday, we're revealing my new cover. It's beautiful. I'll be buying new business cards and revamping my website as soon as possible!

Your cover for "Life Before" was brilliant, I must say. I love everything that I saw , and that could also be the reason why a lot of people have loved your book. By the way, thank you for the advice! Choosing a cover for your book is a critical decision, especially if it is your very firs book! You need to make san impression to the public. It should be catchy and should summarize everything inside your book. It may be a challenge, but choosing the cover is a fun journey! There's a trial and error phase, and ponce you found the cover that matches everything, the happiness couldn't be contained! Leave a Reply. |
I blog rarely, because I'm busy writing books. When I do blog, I focus on writing, friendship, family, and books. Because my family's best nicknames are private, I use their birth years for shorthand:
