Let's talk covers. Cover design might be one of the most stressful parts of being an indie author. There's so much riding on that one image - genre signals, reader expectations, years of your work distilled into a thumbnail. Some authors work with designers from the very beginning. Some wait until the book is done. Some buy premades, some go fully custom, some have made every mistake possible and lived to tell the tale. I want to know yours. How do you approach covers? Do you come in with a clear vision or hand it over and hope for the best? Have you ever loved a cover that didn't sell, or been surprised by one that did? Tell me everything. This is a safe space for cover horror stories too. 🫣 😵‍💫 😬
