Can You Judge Your Book By Its Cover?

Book Covers: What does a cover say about a book? What defines good/bad covers? Should the author name or the title be the main catch (larger print) for the eye on the cover? Do you name an editor on your cover?
How can "tacky" covers impact an author and future sales of the book? Or of other books by the same author?

Just how important do you believe the cover is to your work?


To me, as a reader, writer and publisher, it's the beginning. A cover can be a bigger deciding factor to potential readers then you may think.

As both an author and a publisher I may have a perception about covers that is not always shared. The age-old expression "you can't judge a book by its cover" should be considered so very wrong in my personal opinion. I feel your cover is the first thing readers see before anything and as such will be the initiating factor, on many occasions, as to whether or not they take a second look.

A book cover SHOULD reflect what is inside those pages.

As an avid reader I will pass by a book if I find the cover unattractive, even if it's by a well known author. It could very well be that author's best work yet, but honestly most readers won't know about it because they won't be bothered to find out.

In my opinion a cover is the “gateway” to the contents. A good cover will catch my interest. It will lead me to read the blurb or book jacket information and then, if I like what I see, perhaps I'll sift through the first page or two in order to decide if it's still looking good to me.

Now, that said, a cover can be quite deceptive to a book's contents, which is where the above quote comes in again. You can have an absolutely perfect, attractive cover but yet the writing itself isn't all it should be. What is inside is not at all what I'd expected when the cover piqued my interest.

I believe covers should be attractive yes, but I also believe they need to effectively convey what's inside the book as well. A great cover with a ménage theme on the front of a book that is a straight, two-person, male/female story, with a one-shot occasion of a friend popping by for coffee but who is not part of the sexual scenes within does not a ménage book make. It's deceptive.

Could you imagine spending your hard earned money on a book where you have a nice romantic cover of Jimmy Thomas in a tastefully posed scene with a beautiful African American, only to get into the second chapter to find out it's a book about BDSM with emphasis on the SM? Not something I'd be pleased about.
Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy my BDSM books, but not when I purchased what I expected to be a sweet and sensual romance.

Or what about a book that although has a wonderful, detailed cover, the pages within are riddled with errors or such drivel that you couldn't imagine what might be on the next page. In fact, you dare not even turn the page for fear of what you'll find. That is the end of a read for this lady. I love my books for sure, but geez, they do have to be well written and punctuated properly.

It kind of leaves a reader wondering just what in the heck the place selling it is truly drinking! Yes, I said and meant drinking.

Your books are the windows to your success. Editors, designers, publishers are not perfect and I won't pretend that even the biggest authors/publishing houses have not had an occasional error inside their books. It does happen.
However, as a writer you can attempt to make sure your book is the best it can be before it gets to these people, and it will certainly help, but what about self-published authors?

A self-published author really can't blame anyone but themselves if their work is not up to par can they? Nope, unfortunately not.

My advice, either make damn sure you hire competent proof readers, editors & designers to compliment your work (assuming English is not your second language and a barrier here)

OR

Publish your book with a reputable publisher who will likely ensure your book is sold with a content reflective cover, the best editing possible and nothing but the interest of the reader in mind when it comes to that specific book.


Don't you think that it would be better for you as an author, for your readers, for those desired sales, if everyone could count on being able to judge your book by its cover?

[Menage a Cinq Paranormal Romance]

Carna and her sisters carry the last of the royal blood. Every male shifter in the world craves to mate with one of the elusive princesses to secure their place in history. Only royal blood will ensure the continuation of all shifter species.

Although she may be the heir to future generations, Carna wants no part in a forced seduction. She's independent and wants to make her own choices, and mate for love, not out of necessity. Carna and her sisters split up and go into hiding, but not for long...

When a rogue group of shifters captures Carna and insists she choose one of them as her mate, she puts up the fight of her life, escaping into the forest. Once on the run again, she quickly learns that running and hiding are taking their toll on her. She needs to settle down and why not with one or more of the sexy men begging for her affections? But can she find love amongst all the chaos?

Naughty Nights Press (NNP) is calling for Female Domme ebooks.

We want Domme stories told from the Domme POV.  

Let those Mistresses out there give us an inside view of what they do, how it makes them feel to have total control and why they love it so much.  What makes a woman crave dominating her partner(s)? 
Poly relationships welcome.  


Must have a strong romantic plot line, HEA or HFN but main focus on the female Domme sex!

A consensus from our readers told us this is what they crave, what they desire most to read and what they just dont find available yet, let's give it to them!  

Bow to the untapped, hardcore, erotic romance, ebook market and write your Female Domination Ebook and submit to submissions@naughtynightspress.com no later then October 31, 2011.  
Spaces are limited for December 2011 release so preference given to those who submit early!


All submissions are to be saved as follows: Title_YourLegalName_Genre in .doc or .rtf format. No .docx files please.  No exceptions.

12 point regular Times New Roman, single spacing, and one inch margins.  
Please mark chapters with a title "Chapter Five" space only.
No extra spaces, indents, tabs, characters or lines.  
No *** , special headings, other formatting or symbols please.


On the first page of the manuscript please include:
Your Legal Name and Full, Contact Information, Pseudonym if applicable, Title, Genre/Sub-Genre, Word Count, 
Brief (minimum 200 word) Synopsis Of The Book and a
A 50-75 word Biography written in the third person with links to webpage or blog.

Email your polished (no drafts please) full manuscript as an attachment to submissions@naughtynightspress.com with the genre in the subject line.

Maximum of two submissions to NNP at one time.  Separate emails for each please.
If you have submitted your work to other publishers as well, this is acceptable but please keep us updated.


*Please Note:  Although we like to encourage unrestricted, free and creative writing and we encourage those stories that extremely “push the naughty limits”, you must let us know whether the piece contains any questionable content.  We do put disclaimers about content if it could potentially disturb our consumers, so please let us know in advance. 
 
For example, we allow non-consent/reluctance under certain “role  play”, BDSM or other similar circumstances, but it should not be meant to cause non consensual harm to another character in the story. Writing about child abuse in the past of a character is one thing, but we do not want to read about the nasty details nor have it as part of the stimulation in the work. 
No bestiality except in the obvious specific case of paranormal works.  No children or persons under 18 years of age in sexual acts within the story and no incest content.  We are not interested in father/daughter or the like.  We do not publish works that cross our idea of an invisible line of moral vulgarity in any way.  It's a very fine line.

Royalties are 40% net with exclusive rights for 36 months.

Cassandre Dayne: Rightfully Earning A New Reputation As The Best BDSM Author

Lacking only an official title, that shall soon be provided to her, this wickedly entertaining erotic author will take your mind on a continuing journey onto the divinely pleasing world of BDSM with the titillating tales of lust, naughty behavior, romance and desire she weaves within the pages of her books.

A well respected and esteemed woman and author whose words transform into an informational roller coaster of sensationalism and surprise to readers with the articles she shares as she delves deeper and deeper into this often kept secret way of life. 

Cassandre Dayne is fast becoming the well known name of the go-to lady for information on the world of BDSM. Her reputation of being the classy but most certainly very naughty author precedes her and while not being a member of this elite society of discrete fetish followers, Ms. Dayne has earned a place of respect among many by meticulously recording her findings to present a realistic view of the gratification those who chose to partake are able to achieve.  

Amazingly she holds a place of high honor, close to that of a Domme or Mistress within their way of life, earning her the opportunity to learn what it is really all about from a select few who have given her their trust.  In the awesome BDSM lifestyle trust is everything.

Ms. Cassandre Dayne is constantly working hard to ensure she accurately researches all that the BDSM lifestyle has to offer its participants before providing it to her readers for their mental consumption.  She believes in giving only the very best to all her followers, past and future.

Mistress Gina herself recommends and supports Ms. Dayne in her efforts to bring forth the intrigue, exquisite torture and occasionally electrifying contentment and bliss brought on by the indulgence of the experiences available outside the vanilla sex scene.
