Is cover art input something that's allowed by other publishers, outside of Love Inspired? I remember seeing a writer's worksheet a while ago when I wrote romance that was filled out by the author and given to the cover art designer...that was when I was targeting Harlequin and Silhouette so it could have been from them.Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429542410238239360.post-86751244937952722312011-06-23T09:05:05.482-04:002011-06-23T09:05:05.482-04:00I like to think I'm visual.

Well, I don't think I have to design my own, I just have to give the designers ideas on what the book is about since they don't read the book themselves.<br /><br />Awww!

Blond, blue/green eyes, a dimple in my right cheek, and CAMERA SHY in a big way. So good luck getting any head shots of this girl.
