A picture
speaks a thousand words
New authors
tend to forget how important the cover is. I’ve seen a great deal of abysmal
covers, and of course most of them (if not all) belong to the books by indies. I
was about to post some 20-30 of the worst covers I’ve seen on Amazon, but then
decided against it. It might have seemed like a mockery, and mocking a fellow
indie author is the last thing I wish to do.
A lot of authors order original
covers from designers, others buy a ready one. It might seem improbable that
among the millions of books on Amazon you’ll see two or three with the same
cover, but I have stumbled upon a few.
Here’s an example:
Two different books have the same
cover (a bit altered).
It’s not a big deal actually. Both
this covers are stunning. Both do their job: attract the reader and leave a
good first impression.
You can order original covers
(like I do), or buy a ready one (like these authors do). Many authors are on
good terms with Photoshop and make their own covers. You can do that too.
What you certainly have to do is
use a good cover. Promoting a book with a good cover is much, much easier. Trust
me on that.
