Book Cover Design
Your Book Cover is what will immediately tell the potential buyer why they should want to buy your book.
The colors you choose depict specific moods, ideals and general appeal. One of the typical resources which have worked for me is Elance.com and another is CraigsList.com. By now you should have set up an account on both sites
If you want to have graphics or illustrations on your book cover, elance.com is the best. Cost: $100 average
After opening your Elance account, post a new job for bid. Choose the appropriate Graphic Design category. You will receive 10-20 responses within 7 days. Pick those who have at least 100 references and a minimum of 4.0 for their ratings. Give them 4 days maximum to complete the project and adhere to your budget.
