Ok, not a cover-up, but a cover upgrade. What am I talking about? Well, if you read my last blog you know I have been thinking about ways to increase downloads of my writing. One of the things that I figured would help would be to improve the quality of my book covers. Yes, I know you are not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but a snappy sharp cover goes a long way in drawing a prospective reader's attention to a book. I mean, how many of you picked up a book from an unknown author because the cover caught your eye? I know you have. I have. You may not have purchased the book after you checked out what it was about and even read a few pages, but the cover did draw your attention.
Ok, here is my problem. I, of very modest means, and modest artistic ability, am having trouble producing a professional looking cover. I look at other self-published writers and go "Wow, they have an awesome cover. How did they do that?" I envy these people. What I would like from you readers is recommendations. I want to know what I can do to improve my covers, what programs to use, and who may help with the cover. If you care to help feel free to email me at: ceparmele@gmail.com. Thank you.
