My Book Cover!!!!!

Posted in:



I know we were waiting for BUBBLES, (her story is coming soonest I promise) but I just couldn't wait to share with my blogfam. The galley of my book and the mock-up cover arrived yesterday. The cover is the picture shown above and I'm thrilled! I'm not totally satisfied with it but it certainly makes this even more real seeing it. What do you think and what changes would you make if it were you?

Sorry I've not been to some of your blogs, I was busy yesterday looking through the galley for any typos, etc. I'll do my rounds when I'm done with that. I want to see if we can get the book out for the new year.

Thank you all so much. You've all been a part of this.

    The cover is good,but i think myne whitman is not your real name,why didnt you put your real name since we are hoping it will be well known and be evergreen,think you get my point,thats my own opinion

    Muyiwa: Myne Whitman is a pseudonym. A lot of writers use pseudonyms.

    Myne I love the cover. It makes you wanna read the book more I think.

    Thank you all very much for the support.

    @Muyiwa, Myne Whitman is a pseudonym I've had for ages. I prefer it to be on the book cover while I will be fronting it with my real name. Thanks for that thought.

    oh wow! congratulations...!!!!

    Looks very, very good, and I would be drawn to the warm colours of it.

    one qustion the back page is this dummy text? If not - the first part (she has an open futue), the last sentence which starts with 'But' You could change that to start with The best part, or something like Suprisingly, the best part.....

    Apart from that... as they say in England "wicked" meaning goooooood! lol..

    well done... much luv
