Here are a few key tips from Judith Briles, The Book Shepherd, on how to create killer book covers. Remember: Killer book covers sell books, lots more books!

Spy! Become a competitive book spy. On Amazon, how does your book cover compare to other books in looks and presentation? Your book should look, feel, and be like those created by major book publishers.

Brand! Brand your series. If you have a series, get the series name on the cover. It’s branding and promotion.
