Book Cover Design: How I Approach Covers That Stand Out
In this conversation with Atmosphere Press, I talk about how I approach book cover design and what makes a cover effective in a crowded market.
A strong cover isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about positioning. It needs to communicate clearly, connect with the right audience, and hold its own whether someone discovers the book online, through a recommendation, or in a physical space.
In this discussion, I walk through how I think about cover design, common mistakes authors make, and why overly simplified covers don’t always serve the book.
