I’ve just added Don’t Judge a Book by Its Cover… Except Everyone Does to the classroom, and I’m making it free to everyone in the Guild for the next month. This course is about much more than making a cover look attractive. We’re digging into how readers respond to covers, how genre expectations shape trust, how imagery, color, and typography communicate emotion, how to use AI without surrendering your creative judgment, and how to work with other providers in the industry—including how to ensure your images are licensed, any designer you hire is worth their salt, and more. My goal is to help you stop guessing and start making cover decisions with real intention—whether you are designing the cover yourself, hiring someone, or using a combination of tools. The Introduction and Module 1 are available now, and I’ll be adding the remaining modules throughout the week. I’m really excited to share this one with you. I hope you enjoy it.
