This is the first cover I came up with for my upcoming novel. It's the front and the back of course. You can see the blurb right there too. As far as "enticing readers", this may work or this may not.
I know from experience that a book's cover is crucial for its sales. A boring or unappealing cover can ruin a good book making its sales nonexistent. A good cover can go a long way.
In that spirit, my wife took it upon herself to help me with the cover design. She essentially loaded this cover into ChatGPT and asked, "Make this book cover more engaging". Below is her result:
The certainly grab the eye a lot more. I'd like something closer to the second one as well, but maybe looking more like human artwork and not so much like AI. But that's my personal preference. Would people be fine with AI book covers these days?
There are so many questions I'd like answers for before I officially publish this work. Below are a few:
Which cover is more engaging?
Is the book's blurb interesting?
Are you fine with AI covers or deeply against them?
