Expired [PAST EVENT] December 2018 Morning Session: People DO Judge a Book By Its Cover! PLUS MEMBERS ONLY BOOK COVER CONTEST AND AFTERNOON HOLIDAY PARTY

We're sorry, but all tickets sales have ended because the event is expired.

  •  December 8, 2018
     9:00 am - 3:00 pm

We’re all familiar with the old saying, “Don’t judge a book by its cover,” but this statement simply doesn’t hold true—readers really DO judge books by their covers. With self-publishing settling into the mainstream, fierce competition has upped the ante for independent authors. The finest books have strong, well-written stories—but to rise to the top, to gain traction with readers, even the best book needs a dynamic cover.
