Help me with the Cover

Oh dear, the hardest bit about publishing a new title is the cover art imho. I didn’t have any trouble whatsoever with the cover for my middle grade time travel series, but my fairy tale retellings cause me headaches. Maybe you can help? Here they are.


possible covers for volume one:

Band1-0 Band1-1 Band1-2


possible covers for volume two:

Band2-0 Band2-1 Band2-2


Which layout do you like best? Or do you have a completely different idea? It is important to show that all volumes belong to the same series. Also, the cover should look enticing. Sigh.

Andrea: BookStoreFinds I like the middle covers for both volumes, I like it when a cover tells me which book it is in a series and Yes, the cover should be enticing! I love a good book with a great cover!

Juneta Key I like the third in both groups, because the fairies show a connection, but the center shows the individual difference of each story. The fairies imply fairy tale along with the title, and the middle picture shows the uniqueness the story may hold.
