I have a lot of plans for
2023. Both personal and professional, and luckily for me I’ve started putting
the plans into action. I did a 21- day Yoga challenge from January 2nd
to 22nd and trust me, it was wonderful. I feel fitter and more
flexible. I feel it’s time for me to explore and do many different things in
life. I’m excited about all the things I want to do.
I can’t believe that we are
already in the second month of the year. It’s time for another IWSG (Insecure
Writers Support Group) post. IWSG was started by Alex J Cavanaugh, the author
of amazing books : CassaStar,
CassaStorm, CassaFire and Dragon of the Stars. He has also been instrumental in
building the wonderful IWSG website.
The awesome co-hosts for the February 1 posting of the IWSG are Jacqui Murray, Ronel Janse van Vuuren, Pat Garcia and Gwen Gardener!
February 1 question - If you are an Indie author, do you make your own covers
or purchase them? If you publish trad, how much input do you have about what
goes on your cover?
So far, I have been
traditionally published and all my publishers have taken my inputs into
consideration regarding my book covers. In fact last year I wasn’t happy with
two of my book covers, the publishers obliged by getting a different cover
done. A cover is the first thing a reader sees, and a bad cover will never
attract a reader. I’m lucky that my publishers/editors take my opinion
regarding my book covers and that we are on the same page regarding book covers.
What about you all?
That's great you get input. And that the two covers were redone. They are indeed so important.
ReplyDeleteThat yoga challenge sounds wonderful! And I love your overall attitude about life. Go for it! :)
ReplyDeleteI know...February already? I don't get to do yoga as often as I would like, but when I do I always feel better for it.
ReplyDeleteGlad your publisher lets you have input into your covers. I really want to get back into my hatha yoga. I have started meditating more regularly so I'm going in the right direction.
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing your publisher redid the covers. We've only redone one so far.
ReplyDeleteHow nice to work with a publisher who respects your input!!
ReplyDeleteIt's great your publisher listens to your input. I'm indie but don't make my own covers. My designer is awesome.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine ever making my own cover, Rachna. Thanks for sharing your experiences. I need to work on stretching and flexibility. I'm glad your yoga challenge worked for you. Happy February!
ReplyDeleteThat's terrific you have a publisher who listens to your input. Congrats on the yoga challenge.
