Cover Art
Do authors publishing books get to choose their cover art?
I’ve heard that the only time authors get to choose the cover art for their books is when they draw or design it themselves. I don’t know if this is true or not, so I was wondering if any published authors could answer this. I imagine it’s probably not, but if there’s a chance, I’d like to know since publishers usually choose really sucky cover pictures for books. Hahaha! Thanks!
Publishers have artists and graphic designers that are trained to design book covers. There is an art to it. The book must be eye catching on the outside to provoke people to pick it up off the shelf. Most authors, first time or not, simply don’t possess this area of expertise. Unless you self publish, leave the cover art up to the pros.

The Bodyguard: Original Soundtrack Album $4.78 At the time of its release, this was the watershed for soundtracks, selling a kazillion copies. It documents Whitney Houston’s character in the Kevin Costner movie, which required Houston to play only herself (although one hopes she wouldn’t end up with someone as smarmy as Costner). The album is as much a testament to the production of Babyface who, through the mid-1990s, actually was the mainstr… |
