Cover Design

 

The three things a self-publishing author needs to pay for to produce a professional book are editing, formatting and cover design.  Cover design is many times the first impression a reader gets of a book.  There is only one rule concerning covers.  A potential reader/buyer has to be able to read the title and the author's name when the book is seen as a thumbnail. Aside from that anything goes but the more draw your cover has visually, the more likely a reader is to look deeper into your work.
