Book Cover Critique: $125. I've watched key book wholesalers, chain store buyers, and producers of major TV shows pick up a book and make an instant decision on the book WITHOUT opening the book.
How important is your book cover? Without a good one, your book won't sell. I'll help youto pass that First-Look Test. All for only $125. Each critique includes a 15-minute feedback session via telephone.
“As a publisher on a budget, I can confidently say that consulting with John on the cover of The Way of Leading People: Unlocking Your Integral Leadership Skills was the best money I spent promoting my book. John provided me with clear, concise feedback while making several valuable marketing suggestions.” - Tim Warneka, Asogomi Publishing International
