You don't design book covers all day. You don't meet with chain bookstore buyers. You're not intimately familiar with every success and failure of a prolific publisher. It's your job to tell the story.

My publishers are nice. Most of them give me a proof with an approval, but that's a formality, and they could overrule with a word. It's not my book anymore; I sold it to them.
I didn't bust my ass to get published at this level so I could ply my mediocre cover design skills.Prikaži ovu nit -
Covers are EXPENSIVE. They take weeks to produce, and the teams agonize over every detail. If the art director on my book says, "This is how it needs to be," the answer is, "I'm glad you're here to make better decisions than mine." (

All of my book children are beautiful to me, but sometimes people don't love their covers. I grieve for you. But with trad pub, maybe you walk into a Barnes & Noble, and see your name on the shelf in gold foil. The good outcomes are far more common than bad.

Do I get to pick my own covers? No! Thank god someone more talented than me does that!

Not always. But yes, it’s extremely rare that you’ll get any input. I’m working with the designer at
@cleispress to develop the cover with my own art and I’m very lucky they’re letting me.
