Need help picking a cover
Edit: if you want to know the artists that create these amazing covers, they are tagged on my Instagram @poppyharrows (except 2 people who did not give me socials)
I decided to run a (paid) competition for the cover of my upcoming debut Dark Romantasy book - I aimed it at students or people who are just hiding in the background, sitting on some serious talent and the submissions I got were AMAZING.
But now I need to pick one.😩
I will admit, going into this, I had no idea what makes a good cover, and I was only really fascinated by the art.
Since then, I have read a lot about how the cover needs to signal the genre, the vibe, etc. But I was hoping there were some published authors floating about who would lend their eyes to these 16 covers and tell me what you think would be a good fit, but also what would be a good style/subject matter for the next 5 books to come 😬
(I have not tagged the artist in the post because I only have their Instagram handles and do not have permission to share first names, but if you like a style/design and are also looking for art, comment the number of the post (in red), and I will send you to their Instagram - these people need support!)
