This is when you think about the book’s first impression. How do you sum up an entire book in one page? What do you want your book’s first shelf impression to be? You grapple with all of the big choices like: Do you use just words–no images? Like How to Win Friends and Influence Peopleby Dale Carnegie. Should you have an image of a face? Should it ...
After an initial concept it’s time to make it look more like a book–in shape, size and font. But also making sure to get the title, subtitle and author name just right. This is also when we began experimenting with colors. So I sent this screenshot of something I mocked up in a slide and sent it to my publisher. My wonderful, patient, amazing edito...
My photographer extraordinaire, Maggie Kirkland of Honeysuckle Photographyand my team got together in May 2016 for a big cover shoot. Here’s what we knew we wanted: 1. Crisp headshot on a white background (with space above my head for the title and subtitle) 2. A surprised or captivated look 3. Professional attire So we took over 991 photos trying ...

Like: But we thought that my hands would be too confusing and block the words. So we stuck with the original idea and Christopher put together real proofs for the cover with graphics.

First, we hadlots of back and forth emails. Then, thank goodness Penguin Random House and the Portfolio imprint is amazing and they said, “Let’s bring in data!” Now...
The data was fascinating, but also I wasn’t convinced with the winner. All of the covers had low “Buy for Self” Data. Check it out: Cover #2 only had 43% of people interested in ‘buying for self’ and the others had 30%. Let’s be real, if only 43% of people would buy this in an imaginary setting, it would be WAY lower in real life. A bit of good new...
I still liked the idea of a face and call-outs but wanted something more serious. Perhaps an intriguing kind of captivate? I went back to our photos and found one. Yes ONE photo that would have worked for a serious captivated (without an open mouth). I mocked this up: This felt closer and the publishing team liked it too. Of course, we had a lot of...

First, I changed the cues and made them more purposeful: 1. Charisma Cue –> Eyebrow 2. Hidden Emotion –> Dimple 3. Power Signal –> Smile 4. Personality Clue –> Under the eye or cheek 5. Trust Sign –> Pupil 6...
