That headline was for SEO purposes. Gets right to the point and should pop up for Hire cover artist. I’m a sneaky one.

Comment on Press Club in the Queen City by stephanie slavin

stephanie slavin — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 16:16:41 +0000

As an active member of Greater Charlotte, I am surprised that we don’t have a Press Club. Although I am not a journalist, I am an author and connected to many outstanding people in business and who own businesses. I’ve wondered why they didn’t get press coverage for the great products, services, and community contributions they make. Crystal Provance, owner of Southern Gourmet Cafe & Catering on Monroe Rd., Matthews, was just named “Member of the Year” by eWomen Charlotte, for example. If you will allow members of the public, I will join you and connect you to many incredible men and women who have fabulous stories. Call or email me, if I can help.

Justin, check out today’s post for the final version of the cover. Thanks for the conversation and the compliment – and of course, make sure you visit Entangled’s web site (entangledbook.com). Her book is currently #5 on Amazon’s new releases in love and marriage!

Cool, Amy. Will the book have a sub-title? Like “Entangled: A Woman’s Guide to Saving a Marriage” or simply “Entangled?” Along with the cover artwork, the wording will help prospective readers see that you’re both telling an interesting story as well as offering advice. Melissa’s an awesome designer of course so your presentation is in good hands!

[...] Yesterday I told you about the beginning processes of a book design. Of determining the message to convey and then obtaining or creating graphics that would help to convey that message. Of course, a book cover is nothing without a title and other essentials, so how do those photos translate to a complete design, to something that allows all of the elements to work together to convey a strong message?

For me, this book was a lot about my story, not just a self-help. So the story in a nutshell is that I was Entangled. I think it has more of a hook to say that someone is Entangled. If I say Untangled, then where is there interest in reading about that?
Just my two cents.
