For my paid subscribers, I’ve been writing a series about the step-by-step process of creating and publishing a new book.

STEP #1 - Idea, Research, and Write

STEP #2 - Photos and Layout Designer

Today in STEP #3, I’ll talk about the Cover and Subtitle, which are two crucial pieces of metadata about the book. Today, I’ll show you fourteen options for the cover, and two possible subtitles. More important, I’ll talk about the thoughts behind the decision-making process.

Come join me on this publishing adventure!
