Through my company, ArtCorgi.com , and its boutique for authors ArtforAuthors.com , I help writers commission one-of-a-kind art for their book covers (along with illustrations, author portraits, and the like).
People who urge you to not judge a book by its cover are engaged in a futile battle against a core element of humanity: the fact that we are designed to make snap judgments based on people and objects’ outward appearances.
If you draw a blank when it comes to having cover art made for your book, rest assured you have many budget-friendly options and need not rely on a publisher or agent to connect you to a book cover artist or designer.

Why expend all the time and energy trying to figure out how to do something yourself, when someone else will happily and generously share the secrets of her success with you? Because Paula and I both have a passion for creativity, she asked me to interview me for her series. We had a great time talking about creativity. In the interview, I share some great ideas for getting clear on the why of your creative work and getting inspired.
