Hello fellow authors. I have lost so much money on FAKE cover artists, I thought I'd give this a try next. I want to hear from you, if you have a romance book artist you have actually used and published your book with their cover art. When I posted on another thread, I got hundreds of responses with images and portfolios, and have now given two artists a shot, sent them money, only for them to come back with almost the same thing I did in two seconds on ChatGPT. So, how can I find someone who isn't trying to scam this system? I'm hoping for recomendations for artists that have proven to be real. Thanks

My last post was deleted. Maybe because I didn't post a budget? I am looking to hire a designer to redo my book cover. It's Historical Romance. Set in England in the 1950s. Budget is $150-$300. FOR PAPERBACK, EBOOK AND HARDCOVER wrap around to spine and back. Please do not message me. If you have examples of covers you have done, that would be great. But, I'm no artist. I don't want bubble art, anime, or cartoon artistry. Please show examples of covers you have done with spine and back cover. Looking for beautiful setting. Maybe Cotswolds England. Wisteria daisies, gardens and country house. Couple looks like Elvis and Grace Kelly

Maybe they are dancing at a ball, or walking near a babbling brook where swans are paddling by. Or maybe they are in a row boat.

I have a published romance I want to change the cover on. It is set in England in 1956. And another one I'm writing that is contemporary and about a Hollywood actor. I'm choosing a cover artist, but most everyone only does fantasy art. Really hard to choose an artist without seeing comparable work. Anyone do romance without fantasy elements? PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME A MESSAGE. I cannot go through each and every one. Last time I fot 74 messages. PLEASE paste RELEVANT book covers that are NOT fantasy in THIS thread, or your potfolio. Thank you so much

Voice Replica is ACX's beta program. How does this work, and am I reciting my own book into the prgram? Thank you

Hello all. I have written a romance novel, set in England in the 50's. I am searching for a narrator, and several people have auditioned on ACX. Some are male and some female. If I had to choose only one person to narrate (due to costs) do people prefer female narrators over male ones for a historical romance? There are some very sexy scenes too...just wondering if there is an ICK factor when listening to a male voice especially during the s3x scenes?

I might add that it is written in 3rd person, equally shared POV's. She is 18, and he is 27. TIA.
