A3) Not a trend, but I always want the "direction" of the cover art to lead the eye toward the direction the book opens. For The Guardians of Zoone, I specifically asked for the art to be flipped so that the ship was pointing right. (Art by Evan Monteiro)

Hi ! I feel like I lucked out SO hard with my cover, and I'd love to share a little of the process, from sketch to final. I love the balance of all the concepts in the final cover!

A1: I love browsing by cover. Two that come to mind right away are STARFISH by and VIOLETS ARE BLUE by . Both of these books lived up to their beautiful covers.

A6 INDIGENOUS PERSPECTIVES! There is so much to learn and so many interesting stories. As always it provides opportunities to learn about other ways of knowing and allows others to see themselves in a story (looking at you )

Currently reading The Sea in Winter by . Fell in love with the cover, and am now falling in love with the text.

(Admission: unless it's a rec, I pick books based on title and cover, and never read the back cover in advance.)

My book The Secret of Zoone has a character who's 11 (though I don't think we ended up explicitly stating that in the book). It's a fantasy that would fit that age group (I think).
