M.C. Benner Dixon (mcbennerdixon) | 8 comments Hello, I am the author of The Height of Land. I added the book information, including a temporary cover, but my publisher has asked for a more muted cover image to be used. This image is linked below. Thank you!

M.C. Benner Dixon (mcbennerdixon) | 8 comments I didn't realize that. I see lots of temporary covers on the site, so I assumed it was standard. I just did a little search, and I found a section in the Librarian Manual Book about placeholder cover images that says: "any obvious placeholder covers may be removed or replaced. Most placeholders will have a statement on them like 'official cover coming soon' or 'cover not yet available' or a similar notation." That language wasn't on my first temporary cover, but it is on the replacement.
