My answer: As I have never published a book, I do not know what kind of author I am / will be. I know that cover art is very important to me. It bothers me when scenes from the books are not faithfully re-created on the cover, eg. if the clothes of the main persons have a wrong colour, or they are in another place ... as compared to what is decsribed in the scene. If I have a say I would like to have Olga Godim create the cover for my books.
I am more often turned off a book by its cover than I am drawn in... Which, I suppose still means that the cover is important to me.
SvarSletCovers are important. More than most people think.
SletI do hope you publish, and you get to choose your cover yourself.
SvarSletIf I ever get the book(s) written, I think I am going to publish them myself. I have quite fixed ideas of how it has to look, and I know some who can help me.
SletSince I'm poor and stuck making my own covers, it may be a bit hit or miss. I'm a writer (although some might debate that) not an artist. I'd rather get the book published than wait around until I have the money for a better cover illustrator than me.
SvarSletI do understand this. And I would give it a go myself composing from copy-rigth free pictures if I ever get my book done.
