Book Cover Art Correspondence - The Thunder Heist by Jed Herne

Your book cover is your most important marketing asset.

However, as a self-published author, it can hard to know how to find a great artist, then work with them to properly capture your story's vision.

I certainly struggled the first time I did this. Which is why I'm sharing my complete correspondence with the cover artist who made the cover for The Thunder Heist (my oceanpunk fantasy novel).

I've packaged this up into a 30-page PDF. It includes:

• Every email and document my artist and I exchanged.
• My exact cover design contract (which you're welcome to copy).
• The pricing structure we used for the project.
• Examples of how I asked for corrections/adjustments when I wasn't happy with the design.
• Plus some bonus hints for finding a great artist & getting the most out of them.

I hope you find this useful!
