Good cover artists are worth their weight in gold!

June 16, 2013 By Mimi Barbour 4 Comments

I’m very proud to reveal
another cover recently designed by my most talented cover artist Steven Novak.

 

I love the way he sh-mushed
all three angel books together under one fantastic cover and made it look brilliant.

 

Look – we all know how important
covers are for getting sales. Therefore, it stands to reason we need to have a
good artist to do our work. Someone you trust and who has a great sense of
style. When I first started working with Steven, I would give him my ideas in
detail and he’d try his best to fulfill the images I had running through my imagination. Funny thing was that
they were never quite right – never perfect.
 

Not surprising if one knew what the inside of my head was like!! 🙁
 

Frustration would set in
and we’d compromise. Eventually, I realized that the more I backed off, the
better his covers were. He needed very little guidance. Other than the gist of
the story and whether I wanted a person on the cover, or blossoms and a crib LOL, he would
create the perfect illustration. 

 

Now I leave a lot of the
designing to him and wait with bated breath to see what he’ll come up with. And
trust me; I never have a long wait either. He’s that quick. I feel fortunate
because I know a lot of other authors who complain about the length of time
they have to wait for their work to be done and I can’t help but smirk with satisfaction.
 

 

And did I mention how reasonable
his prices were?

    I second everything you've said about Steven Novak. He is great to work with, reasonable and very creative. He has done some stunning covers for me.

    I agree. I love my cover artist, Su at Earthy Charms, and now send such little informtion that she has to send me back questions, like, "Is he a cowboy?"
