Goodreads Authors/Readers discussion

Hi. My name is Douglas R. I'm a goodreads author. I wanted to know what you readers think of my book cover.
I can email it to you if you direct message me your address. Or you can click here to view the book page.

Love it. I love the sense of space, distance and texture. A definite win. :)

Thanks for your nice words and for checking it out. Much appreciated!

It has ethereal appeal. from the blue to the white you are suspended in between two worlds. I like it!

Hi Douglas, really like the colors and as Elaine said so well, the sense of space.
for me, the Title and other text are a bit hard to read. carol

I would say it's almost there...

Reduce the kerning a bit on all of the text (giving yourself about another 1/8 of an inch on the edges.

Use a slightly thicker version of the fonts (if possible) and add just a very slight drop shadow to them all to make them pop.

That I think would give you a winner. The rest looks really interesting and captures your attention. Good job.

While I do like the coloring of the background, the title and other text on the cover are hard to read.

I think it looks really good! I like the whole space concept and the blue really gives it a galatic/sci-fi look. I would say maybe raise Horizon a bit so it's more readable but other then that, looks good!

Hi. Thanks all for commenting. I love your feedback! You've been so helpful! :-)

I'm not sure this is the appropriate place to be doing this, but I just posted a blog called "Hanging Out With Nora Ephron in 1973. Ephron fans might be interested in reading it. Or not. In any case, here's the link.
