You see a book in a publisher’s catalog and You. Have. To. Have. It. You know nothing about the story inside, but something about the cover speaks to you — it draws you in like a moth to a flame and you know what’s between the covers has to be good. That’s the power of a great book cover. Enjoy this exciting session with publishing art directors to learn how an exceptional picture book, middle grade, and young adult book cover is born.
