I’ve been studying up on Book Design recently in anticipation of prepping my upcoming novels, and while Ive still got a lot to learn, one of the things I’ve slowly been catching onto is the importance of choosing the right fonts for your book- and especially for your cover! The right use of fonts can often be the difference between an amateur looking cover that people pass over, and an eye-catching cover that instills confidence that this is a story worth reading.
On the cover Font issue, I found this blog post quite helpful-
5 Great Fonts for Book Covers — The Book Designer.
The Friesen Press Book Marketing podcast also did a recent show on Book Design that I found interesting. It’s a bit scattered, but there’s a lot of gems in there that make it worth a listen.
