New eBook - rolling right along!

Just got the cover art request form from Dreamspinner yesterday for my new eBook, Memory's Prisoner. Woot! I'm excited!

They had a pretty detailed questionnaire for me, which I was impressed with. I'm glad that they want to make the cover as close to what the author wants as possible. They even had links to m/m photographers they work with for me to select images from if I wanted. They also have two illustrators and a painter on staff if I want a hand-drawn cover.

This will be a different experience for me, since I designed my previous four eBook covers. I did send them a design I'd come up with myself, as they said I could send reference images. Hopefully they'll be able to come up with something similar. Or they could completely surprise me and design something even better!

So now I'm eagerly anticipating both a cover and my edits!

They really care about their writers, don´t they?! Hope they can please your artist´s eye :-))

So far I’ve been very impressed with Dreamspinner! I’m excited and nervous all at the same time. Having designed all of my previous covers I’m a bit of a control freak, so I hope that the artist assigned to me is open to constructive criticism if I’m not happy with it. [fingers crossed]

OMG ReallY? you designed the other covers?

Do you think they are going to make a few designs and tell you, do you like this one or this one??

Awesome Barb I hope everything turns wonderful

Yep, I designed all four of my previous covers! Being a graphic designer it just came naturally to me. :-)

I’m hoping that they give me at least 2 to choose from, or if not, that the artist is open to suggestions if I don’t like it.

Thanks, Maggie! I’m excited to be working with a new publisher and getting my work out there. :-)

I know, I’m excited and nervous all at the same time. Having designed all of my previous covers I’m a bit of a control freak, so I hope that the artist assigned to me is open to constructive criticism if I’m not happy with it. [fingers crossed]
