How do you choose which book to read in that huge ocean of books, there aren't even any fishes to guide you! If I'm being honest, every time I have to choose a book, it's always the one that catches my eye. Whoever wrote to not judge the book by its cover obviously wasn't expecting this conundrum or maybe was from Mars or maybe was in a coma their whole life- random stranger - Or maybe that person just doesn't read. Yeah, that could be it. Imagine, in a huge pile of books, you have to choose one book, within a second because obviously your sibling is there to annoy you in the background and your dad is calling for you to feed the dog which may or may not be chewing your books, which book do you choose? Of course, the book which catches your eye first, which gives you exactly what you need. This is from a reader's perspective. So, why not, make your own amazing book reach out to many more people, by adding a great cover to it? A cover is through what the reader understands the main concept of the book, is it what they want or not, and also not to mention by what the reader chooses which book to read to escape their sibling's screaming voice in the background (totally not me pfft). Why not adorn your fantastic writing with that cover? For you are in luck, the CLN community has now started a graphic shop! We can make wonderful covers for your beautiful writing so that many more people can spot it easily! Do not hesitate to check out our graphic shop, The Twelfth Hour, you may never know what you find...
