There is something appealing about doing a touch-up here and there... applying a new coat of paint... hanging new artwork... adding a new accent piece of furniture... You get the idea.
In the vast sea of indie published books you need a cover that will stand out and grab a potential reader's attention. Since many books, both traditional paperbacks and ebooks are purchased online, buyers are visually lured to your cover by its overall design, color palate, and the subliminal message it portrays.
I have been a member of the Christian Small Publisher's Association (CSPA) since 2009. During that time I have benefited from CSPA's publishing community and their creativity, marketing, and vast knowledge of the book industry in general. Sarah Bolme wrote a great article featuring my book called Does Your Book Have an Expiration Date?
This year was the year to do an extreme makeover on my book Mission Possible both inside and out. In conjunction with the book revision I also revamped my website God Mission Possible .
Lisa Hainline of Lionsgate Christian Book Cover Design did a remarkable job of capturing the essence of my book's appeal and its spiritual message in a design that draws the reader in close. Steven Plumber of SP Book Design did the interior layout and design both for the paperback and ebook. You can view a sample of my new revised book HERE .
If you have a published book that has been on the shelf for more than 5 years, consider revamping your cover for a fresh look and new appeal to a younger and visually alert audience. I'm glad I did...
Deborah is the author of a Christian non-fiction book titled “Mission Possible”. It is written for women who love the Lord Jesus, but their spouse doesn’t share their passion. It will encourage and challenge the reader to embrace God’s promises for their spouse and future together.
