Speaking of the Dead Robot’s Society writer’s podcast (which I’ve become a fan of recently), among the myriad topics they’ve covered, they did two especially good interviews with Robin J. Sullivan of Ridan Publishing. Ms. Sullivan is something of an indie book marketing guru and gave great advice in general in the first interview, but the second interview has some especially good thoughts on the importance of book covers. (Hint- they’re the most important piece of marketing material a book has.) She covers what makes for good and bad covers in great detail, so if you’re a writer or artist, it’s definitely worth a listen.
