Designing a Cover

Covers for novels are so important: I’m sure we’ve all bought books just because we love the cover. It’s vital that they match the mood of the book, and give some hint of the genre and plot.

Our youngest, Beck Hemsley, has designed a cover for ‘Two Steps Away’. I asked for feedback from various groups about what it said about the book. People’s responses varied from ‘teenage romance’ to ‘thriller’! But most people mentioned isolation, searching, loneliness, mental health and said that the cover intrigued them enough to make them pick the book up and read the back page.

So that’s good.
