What happened to the original covers?
Once we needed to take on the next tier of the market though, it was time to go in a new direction.
We spoke to Christian Kallias at a conference in Las Vegas and talked about new covers. He’s done a fantastic job for us and we think this will be borne out in future sales. Covers aren’t about what the author loves but what tells the fans of the genre that they’re looking at a book they’d want to read.
The more specific the cover is to the genre, the better it will resonate with someone who is browsing the internet. If you’re scanning down the top 100 releases in sci-fi on Amazon, you spend a tiny amount of time judging each cover before deciding whether you should click to find out more.
The saying goes you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover but that’s completely wrong. That’s exactly what the cover is for. It’s how you know you’re not buying a gardening book when you want to find out how to build WordPress websites.
