The choice of cover

The choice of cover is crucial for a book. Even if the unfortunate say goes “you don’t judge a book by its cover,” EVERYONE DOES. And everyone buys by the cover. Regardless of the actual value of the book.

I spent a lot of time working on the 5 books of my saga, the rhythm, the plots, the characters, their arcs, their feelings… Obviously, I would like the best covers for these books: attractive, attractive and being the level of the content.

So I started to run some tests with stable diffusion to see if I could get an interesting base… and I got caught up in the game: I did a LOT of trying! So I figured I’d share in case it inspired other people. I made a dedicated account : https://www.instagram.com/inspir_cover/ . These are just basics. It is necessary to use real artists to finalize the work and adapt it as well as possible to the book. I’m thinking of doing illustrator story promos to help authors find help if needed.
