So…I re-read the book while we were away at half-term and it turns out that I’m actually pretty proud of it. I don’t know if it has artistic merit exactly, but it talks about some things that matter to me, I think it’s a fun read and I’d like to share it with people. I’ve also had the early beta reader feedback which has been encouraging and given me lots to work on next. So, full steam ahead!
That means that in the coming weeks I’ll probably be asking you your opinion on various aspects of the book, from the cover to the inevitably horrible author photograph (still think I might go with this one…)
The first thing I’d like to get your thoughts on is the tagline which designer Yo is thinking about adding to the front cover. Now, I know you probably haven’t read the book at the moment (more on that coming in a later post) but which of these taglines would tempt you to read a book by a random author with a publicity headshot like that?
Vote now or forever hold your peace!
I quite like this one…
How much can you stand to lose?
Yeah, that’s a good un too. I’ll add it to the list but it’s unfairly disadvantaged by not having been on there from the beginning. I’ll mentally add +5 to it.
I can draw you one!
Haha! I’d need full on abstraction to make me in any way palatable.
