Readers really do judge books by its cover. It's frequently the first thing that a reader encounters. Maybe the last, if it's not compelling.
A beautiful cover isn't enough. If the cover doesn't suit your story, if it doesn't instantly convey the correct genre and tone, doesn't re-enforce your author brand, it will do you more harm than good.
This book isn't to teach you how to create your own covers. Instead, it's to help you learn about covers,...

In Media Res. Latin for 'into the middle of things.’ Not every story has to start with a long, slow brain-dump of world-building to establish setting. Many modern readers will put the book down and walk away when you do that. Instead, consider starting right in the middle of the action, working forwards as you slowly explain how things got here. Perhaps beginning so simply as somebody knocking on the door. Drop your characters into the middle of...
