The Cover



No, we're not putting the cart before the horse! The cover is integral to book sales. Let's face it, when is the last time you picked up a book and thought to yourself, "Hey, this is a drab cover, I think I'll buy it"?



So, there are several things authors have to consider such as :

  • The central theme of the book - how can it be displayed on the cover?

  • What colors should be used?

  • What font should be used?

  • What size book will it be?


There are all types of issues to consider. That's where we are right now, as Alan is working with a young lady that is a very talented graphic artist in Beijing. When she finishes a draft of the cover, she sends a copy to Alan and myself.

You know what I think? The internet is a godsend.
