Self-published author Matthew Ballard searched online to find the right artist to design the covers for his fantasy novels. It is a collaborative process where he and the designer discuss the story&#39;s main characters, elements and plot lines. The designer then produces a few different options for review and Ballard works with him on choosing the final direction. The easiest way to find an artist to design your cover, he says, is to find published cover art that appeals to you and reach out to that designer.</p> </div> <div class="asl-wikipage-media"> <p><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-01-79/Finding-Eye_2D00_Catching-Cover-Art-for-Sci_2D00_Fi-and-Fantasy-Novels.mp3">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../Finding-Eye_2D00_Catching-Cover-Art-for-Sci_2D00_Fi-and-Fantasy-Novels.mp3</a></p> </div><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Science Fiction and Fantasy, Subscriber, podcast</div>
