Excellent, Holly!
Hi Holly,
Can you give any Info on children's book cover design, how to decide what kind of imagery to display, best layout, or do you already have a video of this or similar?
I enjoyed this video so thumbs up for you! Good to see kiwi on the tube! ☺️
Great material
I would love a video from you on colours! This video was so interesting!!
Thank you! I might even do a series for the whole rainbow 😊

Really enjoy all these insights. I’m not about to publish anything but just super curious to have a look into all the behind the scenes of the industry and the different approaches to creating things I love - like books :)
Thanks, Charlotte. It's good to know that these are interesting even if you're not into self-publishing yourself. And thank you for taking the time to comment!
Thank you so much 🥰
Thanks for this. Very helpful. What about memoir? Are there any specific rules?
Do you have examples of your work? What is your web sight? I have a fiction book, I am looking for a designer. 🦅
