Being a Better Writer: Cover Art · 12:25am May 15th, 2018
Hello readers! Welcome back to a Mondayedition of Being a Better Writer! I know, it’s almost sad that I have to celebrate the posting of a Monday-centric series ona Monday, but my other job lately has been nuts. As in, I could write an entire post about how it’s an example of the dumpster fire that corporate America has created/become. I sort of want to, for my sanity as well, because … well, that’s a tale for another time. Or day.
Thankfully, things with thisjob are going pretty awesome. How so? Well, you might have missed it if these posts are the only ones you ever check out, but Shadow of an Empire(the snazzy cover you saw in the featured image) isavailable for pre-order!That’s right! It comes out June 1st, and joins my slowly-but-ever-expanding roster of adventures. If you’ve been reading Being a Better Writerbut haven’tchecked out any of my books yet, this is the point where I tell you that you definitely should. You’ll get to see all of the topics, elements, etc, that I talk about in these BaBWposts on display in some awesome fiction.
Also, if you haven’t,this week’s News Postis pretty packed-full of cool news and updates. Price drops, Reddit AMAs … check it out!
Okay, news and stuff out of the way! Let’s talk about a really tricky, often dividing topic among authors and writers: Book covers.
I would also recommend reading this EQD post about cover art by our very own Novel-Idea, if only for more examples of good looking arts.
As to Viking, this was a really good one! That, or I'm biased toward cover art posts...
