A beautiful cover on the bookstore shelf can attract readers and sell a book. How do publishers work with in-house and freelance designers to create cohesive, contemporary designs that represent the best of the work inside? What do small presses need to know about cover design on a budget? And how much should authors be involved in the process? Designers and marketing professionals will address these questions in discussing their approach to cover design for literary titles.
