The new cover is SO much better! Great job with the re-branding, ladies. 🙂

More great wisdom here. Thanks so much, June!

The cover has to catch my eye, then if the blurb follows through on the promise of the cover, my wallet is out.

Fae, the thing is, before ebooks (and even now in non-indie situations) authors HAD NO CONTROL over cover & title choices. If they had any at all, it was very little. So it wasn't their fault. And even now, rebranding is something that must happen sometimes. It's just the way of the business.

Your advice on catching the eye, the genre and spirit of the book rings true to me because that's exactly what I do when I choose a book. Exceptions are new books of writers I know and love to read.

Thanks for responding to my call to authors! I appreciate it. It really helped me gather the data I needed for the article! 🙂

Thanks. I've had this article in the works for like 2 months... but at crunch time I thought I was going to perish before I got it finished. LOL.

It can be very daunting. I can only offer two hard pieces of advice: educate yourself on what's selling in your genre and hire a designer (unless you really think you can do it... which I posted about last time. If you search my name here on WITS you'll be able to find it.)

Thank you. Great advice that's easy to follow and the examples show so why updating covers is important.
