message 1: by Sarah (new)

Sarah (Workaday Reads) (wrkreads) I am looking to run a series of author interviews this summer about their book cover on my blog Workaday Reads. I am looking for both authors who designed their own cover and authors who had others design the cover for them. If you are interested, please send me an email at helpersarah2009(at)gmail.com answering the one set of interview questions:

Self-created covers:
•What was your intention for the cover?
•How did you create the cover?
•Are you happy with the end result?
•Is there anything you would change?
•What do you think the cover says about your book?


Created for you covers:
•Who created the cover?
•How much input did you have?
•What was the process to have the cover created?
•Are you happy with the end result?
•Is there anything you would change?
•What do you think the cover says about your book?

Brenda Clough (brendaclough) | 361 comments I've blogged about the book covers I've created for Book View Cafe. They were a series of 4 or 5. Here is the first:

Regina Shelley (reginas) | 135 comments I am extremely happy with my covers, and I'll talk to you if you want about them. I hired an artist to do me some custom artwork, and then designed the graphic around it (I am an out of work graphic designer). So I both had someone do it and also designed it myself.

Plus, my books have custom artwork in them. So I've worked with a lot of artists.

I'll send you an email.

Jill (jillbrock) | 13 comments What a great topic. I love book covers and I love designing them for my books as well as other authors. I would love to be involved in this. Will send an email.

Jason Farris (goodreadscomjason_farris) | 7 comments Hey, I'd like to get involved with your blog. This is a topic that is interesting, since the oldest addage is "not judging a book by its cover", though that's what everyone sees first when they pick one up.
