A book title can be many words or it can be a few words. It’s usually a few words to get the point across. It needs to bring the readers attention to the cover as they see it on the bookshelf at the bookstore in order for them to pick it up and go “Hmmm, this might be a good book to read!” You can figure out the rest.
I often have trouble finding the right image to use for a book cover. It also needs to pop out at the reader. Eye catching but also makes sense to what the book is about. You don’t have to understand everything about the book by its cover, but enough to pique your interest.
So that’s the front cover. Now, what about the back cover? I can hear you thinking about that. I’m on the fence when an author puts their picture of themeslves on the back cover. I’m like, no give me a blurb to read about the book. Tell me what the book is about so I can decide if I want to buy it or not. I don’t really care about your mug on the back cover. If you want to have your picutre on the book somewhere, put it in the dust jacket or someplace else. Just not on the back cover of the book. Please. I’m begging you.
Let it be what it will be.
