Tom McCarthy said, ‘A cover designer, first and foremost, is a reader.’
As readers we notice book covers. It’s what first draws us, so it stands to reason that you must allow your book cover to play its role to the best of its ability. A book cover is a part of your marketing campaign owning as much importance as every other element within your marketing strategy.
Your book cover has the power to manipulate a response. It will have the power to draw a reader to it. It will have the strength to make them open your book, purchase your book and create mystery so enticing that they can’t help but read it. Just like your story needs to connect with your readers, your cover needs to connect with the essence of your story, which will in turn, work fluidly bringing about the desired effect which helps a reader purchase your book.
The beauty of commissioning The Academy of Writers to design your book cover is that you won’t be leaving it to just any old designer in the hope they ‘get you’ and ‘get your story’ and ‘your audience’. You will be working with one of the best designers carefully selected by the founder of The Academy of Writers, and just to add an even bigger bonus, you will be surrounded by other writers and marketers who know how to connect to a story, and how that story needs to connect to your audience. The importance of understanding how everything fits together brings us great success and we just love working with new time authors as well as established ones.
