A Goodreads user asked Michael Grant:

Do you have any say in the covers? And if you don't, do the people who do even ask your opinion or tell you who the characters are?

Michael Grant I have some say, not much. The publisher usually shows me a couple of mock-ups, but usually they have definite ideas, and since I'm not a designer, I mostly just go along.
