A little publishing milestone for BoN Editions!
My first guest article has been published on The Motivational Editor, hosted by author and editor Debra L. Butterfield.
“Your First Book Cover: How to Write a One-Page Design Brief” is for independent authors who know their story but aren’t quite sure how to explain what they want on the cover.
Because translating an entire novel into a single image is difficult enough. Explaining that image to a designer shouldn’t require another novel.
In the article, I share practical advice on putting together a useful design brief, finding the right visual direction, and avoiding common cover-design headaches. Naturally, a little humor found its way in too.
A big thank-you to Deb for publishing my work and supporting independent creatives.
