When Bad Covers Happen to Good Books was actually a workshop I’d written along with several others for a convention that didn’t end up happening, but I decided to share a portion of it here today since I don’t anticipate teaching the workshop anytime soon.  Never say never, right?

What follows are various pieces of advice and things to think about when you get ready to design the cover for your book.  The post consists of what I consider to be the most important highlights from the workshop.  A small portion of this post is right out of my Open Letter to Indie Authors, but most of it is new info.  Hope you all find it helpful!
