Comment on Editors Are Not As Evil As You Might Think. Honest! by Cathi Stevenson, book cover designer https://bookcoverexpress.com/editors-not-evil-might-think-honest/#comment-38 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 02:35:13 +0000 http://bookcoverexpress.com/?p=3293#comment-38 I have seen a definite anti-editing mindset on forums, though. And Amazon has really cracked down on books with too many typos or complaints, even pulling some out of the marketplace until they were fixed. There’s an interesting discussion on it here.

Comment on Editors Are Not As Evil As You Might Think. Honest! by Kris https://bookcoverexpress.com/editors-not-evil-might-think-honest/#comment-36 Wed, 02 Nov 2016 22:03:12 +0000 http://bookcoverexpress.com/?p=3293#comment-36 The problem becomes one of money. Editors, the pros, are expensive, and many self-published authors (well, many people) can’t comfortably afford one. And most self-published authors aren’t as fortunate as Amanda Hocking–they don’t have the, “Hm, publish traditionally or self-publish?” decision to make. The moonlighting high school English teacher may not be the BEST bet, but it is a step above having no editor at all.

Comment on Are You Selling Your Competitor’s Book Online? by Kelly https://bookcoverexpress.com/selling-competitors-book-online/#comment-31 Sat, 15 Oct 2016 10:59:32 +0000 http://bookcoverexpress.com/?p=3017#comment-31 This is super interesting. I never knew the top right hand corner was so powerful. Immediately, I checked to see what I actually have in the top right hand corner of my website – it’s a search bar. I might have to change that. I’m also in the process of designing the front cover of my ebook, so will definitely take this information into account. Thanks for your help.

Comment on Essential Information for Formatting Your Book Cover by Kelly https://bookcoverexpress.com/book-cover-design-tips-formatting-book-cover/#comment-30 Sat, 15 Oct 2016 10:53:22 +0000 http://bookcoverexpress.com/?p=3140#comment-30 I’m definitely still new at this and still learning the ropes, so thank you very much for the information and links to the definitions. They are very helpful. I have to admit, I was considering just using word to design my book cover, but I think I will re-think this now.

Comment on A Picture Might Be Worth 1000 Words, But Sometimes It Should Just Shut Up! by Kelly https://bookcoverexpress.com/picture-might-worth-1000-words-sometimes-just-shut/#comment-29 Sat, 15 Oct 2016 10:48:34 +0000 http://bookcoverexpress.com/?p=3248#comment-29 Thanks for the information. It never actually occurred to me that bad marketing material costs the same to produce as good – quite a scary thought. I’m just trying to self publish a book about our coast to coast cycle trip, and I still need to do the front cover. I’ll probably pick a photo of the fully loaded bikes to go on the front cover. I think that should be ok?
