My\nbook cover is finally finished! I started out with using my kid\u2019s crayons and\ncolored pencils to create the idea. Originally, I planned on having a 3D\nmodeled teenage girl on the cover and an ominous tree on the back, all\nsurrounded by a white-blue hazy light. I submitted the idea to our cover\ndesigner, Zak, and told him to be artistic with it and use his expertise. Zak\ncreated two amazing cover designs for me to choose from that were both beautiful\nand eye-catching. I took them around, showing many teenagers, friends and\nfamily members. Almost everyone, including me, agreed they liked one better\nthan the other, so we went with that one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I then submitted the chosen cover to a group of authors on Facebook that gave me constructive advice on things to change and what to keep. Now, after many months and over a dozen revisions, including renaming the book, my cover is ready. I’m happy with the way it turned out and I’m looking forward to making another cover with our designer, he’s great!<\/p>\n\n\n\n My book cover is finally finished!
