I came across the Random House video on YouTube last week, fell in love with it and wanted to share it.
I think book covers are one of those things that seem to appear from beyond the great unknown. They appear and from what I’ve heard, there is little input from the author, so it was wonderful to see the love and thought that goes into the cover art.
I hope you enjoy this short video as much as I did.

This is really interesting, Rebecca. Thanks for posting x
Rebecca Bradley says
It is isn’t it. I loved seeing the video on something we really know so little about – or the process behind it anyway. So glad you enjoyed it. 🙂

How wonderful! What a great video. For someone currently awaiting cover art on their next novel it is heartening to see that so much love and care goes into the design. I wonder what they’ll come up with for yours? Thanks for this, Rebecca:))
Rebecca Bradley says
Ooh yes Jane! Yours is going through this right now. How exciting. I can’t wait to see the finished outcome x
Rachel Schieffelbein says
That was very interesting. It’s cool to see how many different versions they did of some of those!
Rebecca Bradley says
Wasn’t it! I thought they just had a think about it and tada! Produced one. I really enjoyed seeing just how much they put into it 🙂
Margot Kinberg says
Rebecca – This is terrific! Thanks for sharing that ‘behind the scenes’ look. I thought it was really interesting.
Rebecca Bradley says
I’m glad you enjoyed it Margot. I thought it was one of those areas we know little about so many would probably find interesting. It was nice to see the thought processes wasn’t it 🙂

Wonderful video. One of the experts used a word that thanks to Common Core has become domain-specific to education–but clearly is a Writer’s Word also: ‘Close reading’. I’ll share that with my students.
Rebecca Bradley says
It’s funny how different groups of people take in different words of their own. And seeing one of yours used like that must have been interesting. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. The minute I watched it I wanted to share 🙂
