Praise For Great Covers Sell Books
'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.'
Wanda Whiteley, Founder and editor, manuscriptdoctor.co.uk
'This lively, well-illustrated and eminently practical book introduces new authors and publishers to how covers can be used to sell the contents contained within them. Full of handy tips gathered from the author's own experience, it promises to be particularly helpful for self-publishers, for whom 'back-to-basics' guides like this do not yet exist in abundance.'
- Professor Leah Tether, Professor of Medieval Literature and publishing. University of Bristol
