Pick a Book #OurAuthorGang

We need your honest opinion



Usually, books either get praise or negative opinion from readers in the form of reviews.

This time we ask the readers to give us constructive criticism about how our books are presented on selling sites. 
The authors agonize over the book title until they find the perfect one but it's not necessarily sound perfect to the readers.
The authors think about what the book cover should look like and exchange fifty or so emails with the book cover artist until they find the best color, composition, and the type of fonts to use. It might look perfect to the author and artist but it might not grab the reader's attention.
In my experience, writing the best blurb, that is short, enticing, and catchy, besides finding readers to read my books, is one of the hardest part of publishing. I often joke about it that I'd rather write a novella than a blurb for a novel, but it's true. What sounds good to me is not necessarily sound intriguing enough to readers.

Today we're asking readers to help us with your constructive criticism to improve the presentation of our books.

Pick a Book

Pick the cover that grabs you at first glance.
Click on the link below the book, read the blurb and preview on the selling site.
Come back and tell us in comment what you liked or didn't like about the book presentation.
Your opinion about the book titles, covers, and book descriptions will
help the authors to improve the presentation of their books.

Thank you in the name of every author in Our Author Gang!
