December 2nd: Book Cover Design with David Kudler + Annual BAIPA Cover Contest

You may not be able to judge a book by its cover — but that doesn’t mean that people don’t every day. Your cover has a very important job to do, so are you sure it’s up to the job?

Longtime BAIPA member (and former BAIPA board member) David Kudler will examine the do’s and don’ts of making sure your cover IS doing its job,

David KudlerDavid Kudler is an author, publisher, and expert provider of design and editorial services to independent publishers. Through his company, Stillpoint Digital Press, he has published over a hundred titles by twenty authors — including himself. He served for over twenty years as the managing editor of the Collected Works of Joseph Campbell, editing and overseeing the publication of books, ebooks, audiobooks, and audio and video recordings of the late mythologist’s lectures. He is currently working on a series of books for independent and self-publishers on ebook creation, sales, and marketing called Ebooks for Indies, as well as a series of young adult historical adventure novels.
