These annual Best Book Cover contests are always fun for me—and I hope you enjoy them as well. I’ll be going back to the Genre Finalist posts and adding my comments on each cover—what I liked, why they made it to the finals, and also a list of Honorable Mentions.
I hope you’ll take the time to comment about why you liked your favorite covers too. This subjective feedback is invaluable to publishers, cover designers, and authors who are doing their indie thing. Just remember to be polite.
