Book Cover Warnings
There are some common issues that come up when it comes to images on book covers ... sharing so you know!

Yet another excellent video. So little time, so many good videos. My fonts inside the book are Libre Cason Text (says commercial use without attribution) and Helvetica Neue (from my Mac). I suspect these are safe. I checked this when I started. I did cut some screenshots for chemical diagrams (pngs) then modified these. I could redraw the screenshot portions from scratch. Is this worth the effort?

@Julie Broad I don’t have one. This is new territory. How far does section 107 go? Do I want to spend the time and energy to redraw every chemical diagram? It’s only about 4 hours. So I should probably do it as I wait for my cover artwork to come back.

🎉My book is finished and uploaded to IngramSpark🎉
When AI Breaks the Law: AI Governance for Talent Leaders is now under review at IngramSpark, with a release date of August 19th...I started the book on August 1, 2025... finished writing in December, did a total rewrite in January, and went to editing in April...! This is my fourth book, but my first one in 9 yrs. A lot has changed over the years. I am so proud of this accomplishment. 🌹🌹🌹

Would Love Feedback On My Book Cover Design And Potential Titles
I would love to get input on this book cover design and my five potential book title ideas. There are 7 pages to this document. The first page is just the template. The last page is an alternate design that I still like. Pages 2 through 6 are exactly the same content except with different potential book titles. I'm looking for input on pages 2 through 6. When I research suggessful books in my genre, they have punchy short titles. Originally, I planned for "What To Say On Your Website To Sell Professional Services" to be the title, but it seems better as a subtitle. Here's the help I am requesting your opinion on: ► Your thoughts on the overall design. ► Does the design catch your eye? Would you notice it in the store? ► Is the cover image too bland and need to be changed? Any suggestions on what would catch your eye? ► Do any of the potential titles ( pages 2 through 6) make you feel like you want to buy the book? ► Your thoughts on the remainder of the text on the book cover (front and back). Does it work for you? Does it make you want to buy the book? Are the concepts all clear? Is there any confusion? Thanks in advance and I appreciate your ideas.

For #2, I would lose "how to". Also, your first sentence kind of merges into the second, if you miss the period, then becomes confusing. On the first read, I did this. For #3, lose "own". I think it would read better "Write your | website | without | AI or a | ghostwriter." I might also lose "your" and make website pural. For #4, No comma after scrolling. Change "and" to &. For #5, lose "their head". Lose the quotes on "yes". For #6, too generic. I am not someone to ask about artwork.

I escaped MIT as an EE. Now retired, I’m doing the van-life, hiking trails and writing books to share what I’ve learned before I check out.
