How to Help the Art Department

If your book gets picked up by a major publisher with an art department, you may get asked to give some info for the art department to use when designing your cover.

You may get asked the same by smaller publishers, or by a cover designer you hire.

Different ones will approach it in different ways. But it is common to be asked for some kind of input. I found this particular example of an author--award-winner Mary Robinette Kowal--influencing her cover to be very interesting, and think you might, too.

I also love her headshot/pr photo.
