So it’s not exactly fun for me to have artists do drafts for nothing. As a self-published author, I have to be my own editor, but I also know how tough it is to work on something only to have it tossed aside. Plus, I totally hate having artists start working on drafts just for me to reject them because they don’t meet my standards. I wanted an artwork that would encapsulate the very heart and soul of my book.Īfter browsing through a ton of portfolios and chatting with a bunch of talented artists, I still felt like Goldilocks trying to find the perfect fit. I had a vision for my book cover – a vision that could only be brought to life by an artist who understood my style, my voice, and the essence of my story. Now, let me take you back to the beginning of this incredible journey. As a writer, I’ve always thought that my unique voice goes beyond the pages – it’s woven into my books and even on their covers. It’s all about that first impression, you know? That initial spark that either gets people excited or leaves them uninterested. Have you ever thought about how the cover of a book can be like a window into the story it holds inside? We all know that the saying “Don’t judge a book by its cover” is a lovely sentiment, but in the real world of publishing, the truth is, well, quite the opposite. To be honest, it’s been a real rollercoaster of emotions, setbacks, and, at the end of it all, triumphs. Today, I’m bursting with excitement as I share an incredible journey I’ve embarked upon in the realm of publishing – the hunt for the perfect artist for my book cover.
