Authors! Your Cover Font Is Killing Your Book

Tara Sparling's avatarTara Sparling writes

But this is the best book cover ever Think this looks amateur? You’d be right. I did it in Paint, just messing about for a jokey post earlier this year (click pic for link)

Whilst most of us will judge a book by its cover, I very often judge a book cover by its font.

This might sound odd to some people: perhaps it is – you can let me know if that’s the case. But more often than not, it’s the typography on a book’s cover which tells me whether or not I want to read it.

By this I mean, it’s going to be the reason I sometimes think that the cover, and therefore the book, are an amateur – possibly even sloppy – effort.

I know, I know. I can hear you now.
