What results will a professional cover consultation get you? Better market positioning and salability are just the start!

When the Big-Five publishers create a cover, there’s a reason they don’t just turn over a title to a designer and call it good. Why?

Your cover is one of the most important marketing tools you have. Knowledgeable publishers do serious research and market testing before they choose a concept; they involve the feedback of book marketers, the sales team, bookstores, designers, illustrators, and more. They do title-comparables research and audience-testing. They know a good cover is key to robust sales.

The cover should set the tone for your book, properly signal the genre and subgenre, and intrigue the reader. It should reflect your expertise and speak to your target market. Not to mention be beautiful! And it has about 10 seconds to do all that before a reader’s eye wanders.
