With so many authors going it alone in the great self-publishing highway, this is a book that should be an essential, stashed away in your toolbox

After a book’s subject/topic and author reputation, the cover design is the next strongest motivation for a book’s purchase. Get it right and your book has a fighting chance of success.
Therefore, you have the task of getting both the design strategy and the resulting cover right to make it stand out amongst competing titles.
1. Today's book buyers are savvy and can decipher a good deal about your book just by its cover.
2. Unless you are a household name, have reached celebrity status or are already a bestselling author, you cannot afford to take chances with your cover. PS: Even these guys struggle at times!
3. The market is flooded with umpteen competing titles with diminished virtual or physical shelf space. This means diminished visibility of your book...unless it stands out.
The Fact Is Many Good Books (i.e. Books With Great Content) Don't Reach Their Target Audience Because Their Covers Let Them Down.
A potential buyer should be able to tell what your book is about at first glance – positioning the book in their mind. Your cover must effectively reflect the content of the book and set the expectation of the target audience.
So whether you have a publishing contract with a traditional publisher, plan to self-publish, use a vanity or hybrid publisher, your cover needs to be a selling aid that appeals to your market audience.
