Hello Elizabeth, I love your front covers. Could you tell me where they originate from. Are they drawn or printed? How are they produced? They look very interesting. Thanks, Elaine
Elizabeth Bailey
Hello Elaine. Thank you so much. My cover designer will be delighted! The original images are from fashion plates of the Regency for the figures, and then I use art images (preferably from the period) for the background. I've acquired lots of images and for each book I have an idea of the scene to fit the book and go through them to choose. Then I give these to my designer who creates the branded cover. Here's the sneaky secret! I'm very lucky to have a brother who is a digital artist and he designs my covers for me. www.davidevansbailey.com He is currently doing a PhD in Auckland, but fortunately that doesn't stop him designing for me too!

Elizabeth Bailey:
I'm an aspiring writer, but I'm dealing with two things: I get discouraged every single day because 96% of manuscripts are rejected, and I haven't had an idea for years, literally. There's too many people wanting to be writers, and knowing there's so much competition just kills me a little every day. When I get motivated, immediatly something appears about the industry that kills it. Any tips on how to deal with this?
