Judging a Book by Its Cover

I've been in the book business for over 40 years. I can't tell you how many times I have asked an author, editor, or designer in a meeting if they had looked for comp covers on the shelf of a bookstore and they have replied "no". Knowing where your book is going to be shelved and noting the books that will be shelved around it is increadibly important when concisdering a cover design. Authors, editors, designers, and publishers should be making a point of being inside a bookstore at least once a month. This should also include searching your book's genre, authors name, and competative authors name s on Amazon, Bookshop.org and Google in general to see what other related books come up.

Another thing that magazines do but is surprisingly not done very often in book publishing is a cover review. Once a quarter or at the very least, once a year, lay out all the book covers of your comparable genre by sales numbers. Sales trends and design trends don't always coralate. How many of the top selling mystery books had a cat on them? Did text only covers outperform illustrated covers? Is shabby chic making a comback? Are all your competing books blue? Should you lean blue to fit in or maybe you need thing red to stand out.

You need to place yourself in the readers shoes, see what they see. What is true in writing is true in sales, design, and publishing of books - context is everything.

Here's a link to nice piece on covers geared to indie authors.:

"Dedicated readers of genres like fantasy, romance, or mystery are used to books of that genre having some visually recognizable qualities. To get a sense of what other books look like it’s helpful to visit a library, bookstore, or online retailer and find genre comp titles for your book. Take notes on what the covers look like, and what similarities there are between the covers. Look at the colors, fonts, and images that authors use. You’ll probably find that a fantasy novel is going to have a different visual look than a romance novel, or poetry collection, or a book of literary fiction. Having a genre-aligned cover will help readers find your book."

Did you know you can use these WPA posters absolutely free. These posters were created for the Federal Works Progress Administration. These are great examples of mid-century graphic design and would be great for any design projects you have that need a retro feel. They're also great for inspiration.

You can find these WPA posters and many many more on the Library of Congress website.

With Twitter finally dead (it should've died months ago but I digress) Twitter peeps are coming back, so I want to suggest some things for a lot of the art folks returning (but only if you want to)

Tag your art posts as #my art so its easier to find your art on your blog

Please make reblogging art posts a habit instead of just liking them. Tumblr doesn't use stupid algorithms, you and everyone that follows you can only see things if you reblog them. The only good thing likes are for is making people feel good. Otherwise they help no one get seen

Make an art blog for people who are only interested in seeing art and not personal stuff. Its super simple to make a side-blog and to change which blog to post stuff to (the only downside is remembering to switch to your personal)

Tag your art posts well. There used to be a "1st 5 tags appear in tag search" feature, but they've bumped them all the way to 30 (last I heard was a few months ago, so idk if that's changed since then) Only tag with relevant information, otherwise you will be reported for spam

Please share artists' commission posts when you see them. With Artificial Images (AI) taking over, real artists are struggling to keep going. For many, art is the only way they can make money bc of disabilities. Support marginalized groups by sharing their commission posts and art

Some people are okay with you tagging them in your OG posts. If you're not sure a user is fine with it, put "please ask to untag". Its not super common practice yet, but it has helped. Feel free to tag me in your posts bc as a struggling artist with no job myself, I want to help others as much as I can, and I will always reblog and Q up art posts (bc post limit (upoading, reblogging, and answering public Asks) is 250)

If you love an artist's work and want to see MORE of it, then you have to reblog it. Leave comments in their replies (if they have them open) and tags to show artists that people still love them and their beautiful works of art. A nice comment goes a LONG way for a lot of folks!

If an artist has merch, Tumblr has an Artist Alley for you to view and buy things from your favorite crafters and traditional artists (if anyone knows the correct tags to use, please let me know so I can add them here)

Feel free to add to this list, as I'm sure I'm missing things

PS: If there are people that aren't kind and humble, just block them, don't engage. You'll have a far better blogging experience if you do this. If someone is tearing down your art bc they're jealous twats, always block. Just be kind to people on here and ignore shitheads

Edit: Changed the wording to not put pressure on anyone since ultimately you get to decide what to do with your blog 👍🏻
