Fake Book Cover Day
I have decided to declare January 10th "Fake Book Cover Day" because I, along with one other person I know (my CP, Ilima) have chosen today to post our pretend covers. Everyone else, it's not too late to jump on the bandwagon!
So, without further ado, here is the fake cover I designed for my latest manuscript, The Lovely Invisible (a Cupid & Psyche retelling). Enjoy!

Holy wow, Katie. This is amazing! And I know you don't like faces on covers, but that model is GORGEOUS, just right for your character. I love love love it! This makes me even more excited to dive in. :)
ReplyDeleteLove it! It is beautiful! I'll think of this while I beta read.
ReplyDeleteFun! I agree with Ilima--that model is perfect for your character. :)
ReplyDeleteHow did you guys do that? Cuz I can totally cut some pictures out of a magazine and glue stuff together...haha, but I couldn't do that I don't think!
ReplyDeleteGreat cover Kathryn. And you're lucky to have Ilima as a CP! COOL! I would totally jump on the bandwagon if I had anything prepared. Love what you guys have shared though. Great covers!
ReplyDeleteCupid and Psyche is one of my favorite mythological stories. That's such a pretty cover.
ReplyDeleteIlima- Thank you! You're married to the king of design, so that's high praise coming from you.
ReplyDeleteEmily- Thank you, my dear. I hope you enjoy the manuscript!
Jeni- I'm biting my nails knowing you're reading it right now. And she IS the perfect Isidora, right?!
Jessie- Photoshop! But I love me some magazine cut-out collage inspiration too. :-)
Leigh- I AM lucky to have Ilima. She rocks! <3 We'll have to have another Fake Book Cover Day soon so you can join the party.
Cynthia- Yes, I've always adored this myth, though my version is VERY different from the original--mainly in how I portray Psyche ("Isidora" in my book). Hopefully it gets published and you can read it someday. :-)
I love this :) It looks like a REAL cover.
ReplyDeleteWhee! I have fake book covers, but I'm too afraid to post any. I like your cover! It makes me even more excited to dive into the book tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteI love it. All the emotion in the picture of your MC is perfect.
ReplyDeleteAnd the only "real" fake cover I have is the one you made:)
i like how cupid looks more masculine, not so boyish as we may percieve. her face, is innocent, yet you think she would be a good "lover". i really like it!!
ReplyDeleteI would never guess that was a fake cover. What's with all these fake covers that look good enough to read? They're beating the tar out of "real" covers. :)
ReplyDeleteI won a free cover design through a contest once but I never redeemed it! Perhaps I should have. This is REALLY fun. The cover is beautiful and TOTALLY looks real!!! :D
ReplyDeletereally well done! You did that yourself? That's amazing! Are you a designer or something? Please tell me that you are ! ;-) Mine is so amateurish compare to yours! here's the one i did-Any feedback on this would be great. Also anyone willing to like my page, would get to read this one for FREE- Just email me and i will send you a coupon. This will be valid until Valentine's day. Valentine's day can't be romantic without a romantic read right? right? ;-) https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/140051
