I can’t believe what all’s involved. I thought they just took it to some guy on the corner and said do this! It never dawned on me it took that much work.

Real informative. I always wondered how a cover came to be. I know many authors don’t get as much creative freedom when it comes to the cover, depending on their specific publishing houses, but I like the way you described the process. A big thing for me is how accurate the models are in references to the actual characters. I stop constantly through a book, usually when the characters are being described, and look at the cover to get a better idea. I am glad publishers take the covers so seriously.

Thanks for the post!
