      I like to say that your book cover is your first marketing decision so knowing how to create a good cover is key.

      That was very much needed, I agree when I walk into a book store I go for sometimes what catch my eye, the cover is a great part of why I even want to read the book I needed that insight..

        I am fairly new to this and I'm finding it very interesting. It is however difficult to navigate around to all the different subjects. I am finding it very difficult to find an agent or publisher who will publish my books, because I write stories with a combination of all the genres plus because I'm new not many will take on an unknown author. I can't afford to self publish, also what do I do? some people have told me to find a literacy agent and some say don't. I'm so confused. Some say just go to a publisher, but where do i go to find a genuine publisher and not a vanity scam one?
