Authors & Reviewers discussion

Hello everyone,

I'm a new author who recently released a debut novel, ALPHA'S BANE, and I'm looking for some honest feedback about my revised book cover.

Would you read this?

Would you class it as a paranormal romance?

The book's genre is;

paranormal romance

scifi (light)

Thanks everyone! I'm super excited to be showing you guys my new cover.

Nice cover! Very professionally done. I'd definitely look further if I saw it on a newsstand.

Hey!

That's a great cover and I believe it represents the genre nicely :) I like the color scheme and the font.

I'm personally not that into the genre, but I think other people would read this!

Thank you, both!

This was super helpful. I'm way more convinced this cover is more paranormal romance-like than the first edition.

Now to tackle the editing again...

Thank you :)

I think it looks really good. Good luck on your book!

Nicely done cover (as a cover designer myself, I cringe at some of the covers out there!!!) The contrast is nice, good color choice.

I'd see this and think it probably has to do with shifters or wolves. Either Sci-Fi or paranormal. It definitely stands out in a good way.

I don't read adult PNR, but I appreciate a good cover when I see it. :)

Katze,

Try here to take a look at your cover as it will be shown on Amazon:

Click "Change View" to see it as a list in "Related to ..." (paid ads) and "Customers who bought this also bought..." lists.

You've got a problem!

Than me everyone.

Martin, that was super helpful to see that. I'm not sure what you mean by I have a problem, though... :)

Your cover looks amazing!

Can I classify it as sci-fi? Yes I can.

The best thing I love about this cover is the girl in the background. Great cover

Thank you!

Yes, it is scifi too. Not hardcore scifi, but still scifi!

Jay Aheer @ Simply Defined Art designed it.

Thanks again!

Katze,

Look at your readability as size declines. Compare to your competition. Your title's gone in the smallest sizes, nearly gone until the largest 'also bought' size.

Home Tears and Alpha's Bane look good

I got a problem reading Home Tears in every size, Joshua. But it's #2 in Amazon Romance, so maybe a little illegibility is a good thing.
