Pick a Cover, Any Cover
July 20, 2007
Want to have some say in a future book’s cover? Follow this link.
Bethany House Publishers is doing a survey on the cover for a book they have coming out sometime in the future. They’re also giving away one book to ten people who do the survey so they’ll ask for your e-mail at the end for the book drawing which is in about two weeks.
This got me thinking about genre and branding and how the two go together and how important they are. In fact, ten minutes ago, my hubby and I were talking about what the Food Network and point of view have in common. And yes, it’s all related to this. Stick around. I think I’ll wax eloquent on that next week.
I’ve been ridiculously crazy over the past two weeks and life doesn’t look to be slowing down until July ends, at least. So for this week, I’m again going to skip our Friday Routines. I’ll do my bestest to get back to that next week.
Happy weekend, everyone!

I did this survey a couple of days ago. It was really interesting how my opinion about whether I wanted to read this upcoming book changed as I viewed different covers. Then when I read the blurbs and the excerpt, I knew I wanted to read the book. They grabbed me with the words more than any of the covers. I guess there’s a lesson in marketing in there somewhere. We’re going to have to reach potential readers in different ways.
