I never thought about multiple fonts, but I tend to use two on the front cover. The author name is always a different font than the title.

I wonder about the back cover. Do you recommend keeping a certain percentage of the back cover word free?

I live, move, write as fast as I can - as someone recently put it, 'at the speed of continental drift,' now that we really can't use 'glacially slow' any more.

A lot to digest, and my damaged brain is overwhelmed already, but at some point the marketing moves to the top of the list again. Maybe I'll be better at it this time.

I write - and take as long as I need to get it RIGHT. It's hard to market that way.

I expect your 2021 book is updated in a lot of these areas, so I just bought it to use as a checklist for re-visioning everything. It is difficult to market indie mainstream, so I can use all the help I can get. While I go deep and complex, and have no ability or interest in turning out lots of books, I keep looking for the tips which will work for the one-novel or even one-novel trilogy authors. Any ideas?

I'm looking forward to planning/revising/expanding with your words!
