When should you put a new cover on your book?

“There can be a lot of expenses when you are launching a book, especially at the beginning of your writing career when you don’t have the royalties coming into to cover the costs.

You can swap with other writers for editing, format using free tools that are available, and you don’t have to advertise. But obviously, you have to have a cover for your book.

What I often tell authors in my book coaching business is that you will get better at all stages of writing, editing, and marketing your book as you go on. So buy the best quality that you can afford for the stage that you are in. As your royalties come in, you can afford better quality.

The most obvious area that this applies to is book covers. Every reader will see your book cover, and it plays a huge part in their decision to buy your book or not.”
