Hello I'm New!

Hi there everyone,

I am new to Lulu and also to publishing.  I published my book today for the first time (19 years after I wrote it!) so very excited (and a little scared!!).  Times have changed a lot since I last tried to publish, there was nothing online for example!

Thanks for reading my message and hopefully I'll get some interest in the book.

Re: Hello I'm New!

A couple of suggestions...

Replace your sans serif font with a serif book face. The text will look more professional and be easier to read (check out some commercially published novels for a model).

You might want to rethink your cover. It needs to get across something about what sort of book you have. Without your blurb, no one would have a clue that this is a horror thriller. Your cover needs to say that.

Good Evening and welcome, :smileyhappy: 

 

I like the lower part of your front cover but the top part needs a little work. Title and Author text needs to be bigger or at least have the font changed as there is too much grey text. If you would like some help with the cover design please feel free to ask :-)
