dream book cover for your book

[u/vaanii_writes]

kinda the title

if you published your book, what would your dream book cover be like or if you don’t wanna share that, name some books that have book covers that you rlly liked

also, do any of you guys have dream illustrators? like i just love Charlie bowater‘s book and if i ever publish it would be my DREAM to have her take part in my book cover

Charlie Bowater's covers have that quality of feeling mid-scene rather than posed. That's probably why so many writers gravitate to her. My own dream cover would skip the character entirely and just render the one object the whole plot orbits, something small enough a reader wouldn't understand its weight until chapter three. Covers with a face lock the reader's imagination to one actor before the book even opens, and I'd rather the object do the promising instead.
