Cover Reveal

I've written in other genres under a pen name and those covers were easy compared to this genre. My dirty little secret is that I've been writing erotica for over a year. I'm trying to branch out into other types of writing, so here I am with my first romantic comedy/chick lit short story.

Those other covers were never difficult. Throw a couple on the front entwined in each other's arms, naked flesh exposed here and there. Done!

This is harder. Chick lit is very pink. I'm not a pink kind of girl. It's very girly. I'm not a girly kind of girl! You get the point. This is the cover I've come up with for my story. Give me your thoughts and opinions below.

I might move my name up a smidge. I like it overall, but I'm not sure I trust my judgment since this is my first cover for chick lit.

    I love the cover! I agree that your name should be moved up a bit. The pink over just the table is a nice touch!

      Thanks for commenting and loving the cover! The spacing of the typography does need work. I'm glad it works overall for you though.

    Overall, I really like it! A couple things:

    1. I don't think there is enough space on the margins of where your name is. (It's too close to the edges)

    2. I think the font needs a little bit of "dressing down". I like the style, but it comes off as very "cutesey", while the background is more "grundgy". Does that make sense? The font has more clean lines, the background is more imperfect...maybe that is more clear.

    Did I mention that I used to be an editor? HA!

      Good point about the margin edges. I'll fix that. The grungy/cutesy comment does make sense. Making the font fit the background might change the overall feel of the cover. I'll have to work on that because you've made good points. I'm glad I put this out there for others to comment!

    This is very cute. I like it and I also agree the name needs to be moved over. Looks like it would be a good read from its cover :)

      Thanks! I'm glad the colors work. Especially since I wanted to avoid being too pink.
