When publishing a book, the cover design is an essential part of catching the potential reader’s eye.

In addition to getting the attention of potential readers,  a book cover needs to say something about the content of your book.

For those of us writers who are not able to design a good book cover, we might want to hire the services of a professional.

Look in the comment section to find book cover illustrators, visit their site and their portfolios to choose the best one for you.
