Getting Your Book Published: The Cover

Last week I got the artwork for the cover of my book.  I relayed to you before that I had sent the description in weeks ago, at the beginning of the process.  Having to wait while someone else tries to capture a particular vision based on a couple of paragraphs can be exhausting if one were inclined to worry.  I simply held hope that everything would turn out ok.

Guess what?  It kind of did.  The cover was very close to what I had envisioned.  I did not feel it had to be modified at all.  So after one day of consideration, I sent the approval e-mail to my book editor.  Excellent job art department!  I hope that one day I'll get to meet the guy, or girl, or team, who put the picture together and, if possible, interview them.  I like to know how people create things.  It's mysterious.  For now a sigh of relief is in order. 

Right now the book is in the last part of the process, that is, printing, and in another week or so I will be getting a couple of advance copies.  As soon as I do, I will post the cover art here. 

Now we are close, within a couple of weeks of the big reveal.
