Effy asked Vivian Dunn:

Congratulations on your debut novel! What was the most difficult part with publishing?

Vivian Dunn Thanks! I would have to say that the cover was the most difficult part, likely because I had no idea what I was doing. The cover is hand-drawn and digitally painted. Working with an artist during the pandemic, without either of us knowing what we were doing, was difficult. I recommend finding someone with experience to at least help you out, even if you want to use a specific artist who may not have a clue about book covers. For my next novel, I plan to do things differently, but it was a learning experience!
