Thank you to everyone who has pre-ordered my new book! It’s coming out in May, which seems like a long time to wait, but you know what? I thought 2008 seemed like a long way away, and here it is, already.
Lark Books settled on a cover design for my book, and I think it’s much cuter than the first one. It also gives you a better idea of what’s inside the book. My impression is that publishers come up with several cover possibilities, and decide at the last minute which one suits the book best, not to mention which one will appeal to the most customers.
The other book I wrote, Polymer Clay for Everyone, had a different cover for each of the three countries it was published in, and different titles, too: The Polymer Clay Sourcebook in England, and Pâte polymère—Pâte Fimo® in France. It’s all about marketing!
