This is a book for authors who are trying to decide between traditional publishing or self publishing. Title:  How Do I Decide? Sub-title:  Self-Publishing vs. Traditional Publishing Series title: A Field Guide for Authors Book description: There is plenty of information available on both traditional and self-publishing. But how do you choose between the two? How Do I Decide? is a concise, definitive resource that will guide you through the decision, allowing you to ignore the noise and hype and focus on the right path for YOU. This is a fair and balanced approach that avoids favoring one choice over the other--and instead shows you how to determine which best fits your own situation.

Book cover for the above-described book.

I'd love to come up with a design that has elements that can be carried through with a whole series of books. I don't want all the books to look "the same," but I want to to appear they are in the same series. So this first book cover will hopefully set the stage for several more to come.  The book is currently listed on Amazon, with a cover I do not like: http://www.amazon.com/Decide-Self-Publishing-Traditional-Publishing-Authors-ebook/dp/B00B4JRNN8/ref

Every design category has flexible pricing for all budgets. Book cover starts at $299.
