Your book’s cover is the first thing a reader sees. It’s not optional; it’s your frontline sales tool. So, how does it stack up against the glossy bestsellers and the big-budget covers from traditional publishers? Does it hold its own? Or does it quietly fade into the background?
Authors are often too close to the work, and too surrounded by polite praise, to see the cracks. What you need is a blunt, expert take from someone who lives and breathes cover design trends and reader psychology.
Author Nation presents a chance to get exactly that: a no-cost, straightforward cover critique from Damon Freeman, creative director of Damonza and the guy behind 14,000+ covers — live on stage at his session on Thursday, November 12, 10:30am (Bronze 1 / Learning Lab).
Simply complete the form below, upload your cover, and include the link to your book’s store page.
PLEASE NOTE: This is for published books only — your book needs to be live and for sale. That’s because a cover review only means something when we can see it where readers see it: on the store page, next to the competition. If your book isn’t out yet, hold onto this for launch day. And depending on the number of submissions, I may not get to every cover on stage. I’ll pick a varied range so the session is useful for everyone, whether yours comes up or not.
Your book cover will be reviewed by Damon on behalf of Damonza. You will also be signed up to our mailing list, but you can unsubscribe at any time.
Thanks for your interest in one of our quick order packages. In order to submit an order using this form, we require you to be registered and logged in, which you can do here.
