BOOK MARKETING: WHICH BOOK COVER DO YOU LIKE THE BEST FOR SEVENTH DIMENSION - THE HOWLING: A Young Adult Fantasy





Cover One

Cover Two

Cover Three

Cover Four

Cover Five

My cover designer Lisa Vento gave me twenty-one sample covers for Seventh Dimension - The Howling and I’ve narrowed it down to these five. Let me know which one you like the best or the one that would most likely grab your attention at a bookstore.

Two comments:  There are two protagonists in the Seventh Dimension Series, Shale and Daniel. Shale has appeared on two of the previous book covers. Daniel has not appeared on any, so I feel like I should have an image of him on the final cover. 

On the other hand, while romance has been an underlying element in the series, it has not been a dominant theme. I’m not sure why having a female on a book cover seems less romantic than having a guy on the cover. So, that’s why I’m asking for your thoughts.

The covers are labeled one through five, so if you are inclined, you can let me know in the comments your favorite or your thoughts.  

I’m doing research now on Seventh Dimension - The Howling and can’t wait to begin writing.

BOOK MARKETING: “Which Are The Best Book Covers? And Why?” by Lorilyn Roberts



Nothing like comparing book covers side by side to see how much difference a good book cover makes in the overall impression of a book. This video includes three cover makeovers for my books.




 

 One of the challenges of leading a network of Christian authors is convincing members to spend the money to hire a really good book cover designer. As you can see from the video, I hired some less expensive book cover designers, and while the covers were okay, they didn't “sell” my books. With book marketing becoming more competitive every day, the one thing you shouldn’t skimp on is book cover design. Hire a good designer. These improved covers were all created by Lisa Vento.
