Can I Have Your Thoughts on Cover Design?


Well, that was unexpected. You probably didn't anticipate seeing me until after the holidays, let alone asking for your thoughts on cover design.

Then again, I am known for my spontaneity.

I'm not. I'm really not.

Point is, I'm here. I have questions. I need answers. Let's get this over with.

And, before you ask, no. I'm not talking about designs for Bound and Determined's cover. That's not coming until sometime in the spring (hopefully). Nay, me luvs, today I'm sharing with y'all some of my favorite designs in hopes of gaining your opinions and feedback.

Because, yes, I'm gonna give selling premade covers another go. Will it be a fruitful venture? Probably not. Do I care? Not really.

Okay, maybe a little.

Point is, I want to know what y'all think of these designs and, more importantly, what y'all think of me selling a few premade covers here on my site. What types of covers would you like to see? Are premade covers something you'd be interested in (or do you know someone who is)? What sounds like a fair price?

That kinda stuff.

So, without further ado...the covers...

What do y'all think? Do I have potential? Which covers do y'all think look the best, ready to be customized and slapped on a book? Do you even think this is something I should try out? (I've already tried selling covers through other sites, but that didn't work out.)

I want all the thoughts - good, bad, and ugly. Okay, maybe not the ugly ones. Thank you, lovelies! I greatly appreciate thee giving thine sage wisdom. *bows*



Bookishly Yours,

Grace

That last one made me think of Miss Verona.

I really like: Your cover Goes here and The Golden Night.

Oh I love it, I love it!!! 😍 How do you make your covers? Also, this is kind of funny, but I recognize the photo for the Castaway cover from a gospel tract cover! 😂 So that got my attention!

Hey, I remember when you made the Genesis cover for me! I really liked it... maybe I will end up using it for Y&Y, if I ever get around to writing it. ;) I really liked all those covers. You gotta become a cover designer.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


*whispers* The Golden Night, The Abandon Bride, and Your Title Goes Here (you're such a genius at coming up with names, Grace. That should be an actual title.... no seriously, it should. XD I'd buy the book just for the sake of that title. XD) were three of my favorites!!!! ;)


Anyways, I definitely think you have potential, and if it's something you wanna try out, you should TOTALLY go for it. Ya never know if you surprise yourself. 😉 And trying always matters!!!!! And, hey, we'll always have your back, even if you completely humiliate yourself and the rest of the world disowns you. XD I'll only be slightly laughing. 🤣 But seriously, I'd totally consider buying a…

(Oh, gosh, Is. That's too good. XDD)


Awww, thank you!!! Good point! *shakes head* YES, HTHC is definitely one of my favorite designs! :)


I'd probably just sell them on my website for starters. If, y'know, I have a sudden boom in business and am selling covers left and right, I probably will create a separate site for that...in which case, I'm open to suggestions for names! ;)
