I can't ...Oooh, cool cover for One Night in Boston. I can't wait to see the new one. I have to say I was a little stunned seeing the first version (me breaking out into a cold sweat and starting to pray). I've read that the smaller publishing houses do work with their authors if it doesn't feel right. I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed for mine. I know one thing that threw me was when they asked for his eye color. Gray was not an option. In the "other" field I typed the correct color. How many people actually have gray eyes...hmmm, not too many. Note to self- no more gray-eyed heroes! Looking forward to your cover.Devon Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13106424668722278934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32906017.post-29782297715661694132008-05-05T14:11:00.000-07:002008-05-05T14:11:00.000-07:00Marianne, I definitely would love it if you blogge...Marianne, I definitely would love it if you blogged about your covers...I know it was a much longer process for you!<BR/><BR/>Dru, Definitely the marketing aspect - choosing where and when to promote, and how much $$ to spend, and how to creatively get the word out. The rest - editing and such - is more familiar to me, as a writer. But business savvy I have none!Allie Bonifacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17334745422433097012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32906017.post-37249856138438328182008-05-05T12:18:00.000-07:002008-05-05T12:18:00.000-07:00It sounds like a longer process than I would have ...It sounds like a longer process than I would have expected. I am glad the author gets some say in their own book cover! I am a book cover looker!<BR/>To me, representation is very important. I am waiting to see your new book cover.
