Here's what actually goes into a book cover before anyone's read a single page.
For The Echo Rewritten, I wanted something that felt like memory itself — gold and amber tones, like light caught in glass, almost like time trapped inside it. Weeks of typography tests before I found something that felt right.
A cover has to signal tone and genre instantly, and carry a feeling about what's inside — all without saying anything directly. It's the first conversation the book ever has with a reader.
Has a cover ever made you pick up a book you knew nothing about?
