They do browse but typically it's (non-fiction) "I want to learn how to X" or (fiction) "I like books by Y, what else have they written?" kinds of browsing. Neither helps me. As I understand it, in only a few genres does the front cover need to explain what the book is about. The "rules" as...

Yeah, when you buy stock image art, you're paying for permission to use them. :)

Yeah, I've heard that it's a real nightmare to get anyone to notice your book with the zillions that are also up on Amazon. Why would anyone ever notice mine, right? Do you know if any reading forum is interested in Christian books specifically? I don't even know where to start finding one.

Well, the book is about lambs on a space ship. Kinda weird, I know. But it's a murder mystery in space. The main character's best friend is accused of murder, so she's got to solve the murder to save her friend. Does the image directly represent the story? Perhaps not perfectly, but hopefully...

Excuse me while I totally hyperventilate. I have my first book cover! I'm so terrified that no one will like it or that no one will give the book a fair chance. I hope you guys like it! I don't even know how many years have led up to this moment, but it feels like a lifetime. Wish me luck in...

It just made me cringe. Would you find inspiration in a robotic priest? If you were hurting, would you feel...

Thanks. I appreciate that.

After paging through this forum and all the members who are in dire need, I feel bad for even asking, but if anyone could spare a moment, I could use a friendly prayer. Several, okay many years back, I started writing an inspirational book, and it went from a hobby to an obsession. At first...

Hey guys— Long time faithful, but first time really talking about faith online. Despite the anonymity of the internet, I'm finding this really intimidating. I sure hope it gets easier with time as I feel like I've run dry when it comes to local people to talk to. Know what I mean? Anyhow, very...
