It’s my pleasure to welcome friend and fellow author, Suzy Turner to Celtic Connexions today. Her latest venture is designing book covers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Without any further ado, we’ll get right on with it. I’ve had the chance to visit your website <\/a>and peruse your covers. What made you decide to make the leap into creating covers to sell?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’d been creating covers for my own books for a few years (as well as for an author friend) and people kept suggesting I should do it for others. But I wasn’t confident enough… until now. I’ve learned so much over the past few years that I finally feel that I can use my knowledge and skills and put them to good use!<\/p>\n

You mention the fonts can be changed from the ones used on the display covers. What if an author has a different title in mind for their book? Can the title be changed as well? Is there an extra fee involved?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The titles I use on the pre-made covers are just my titles for the books (to make it easier for me to identify each one and to give the author an idea of what it will look like), and will be changed at no extra cost.<\/p>\n

If an author chooses a cover that doesn’t have an additional line of text (ie. USA Today bestselling author, NYT bestselling author, Award-Winning author) can it be added? Is there an extra charge for it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

No, not at all. I’ve used an additional line of text just for example. Authors can choose to have whatever text they like on the covers at no extra charge.<\/p>\n

Where do you get your images?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I use my own photography, as well as stock imagery from legitimate sites such as www.depositphotos.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What software do you use to create the covers?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I create my book covers using Affinity Photo (very similar to Adobe Photoshop).<\/p>\n

So let’s have a look at a few of your covers!<\/p>\n

About Suzy<\/h2>\n

\"\"
\nSuzy Turner is a keen reader and writer who has always been obsessed with all things magical and mystical, so it was only natural that she would eventually find herself writing books and creating book covers and photographic art about such mysterious things.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s been writing books for over a decade, mostly within the YA urban fantasy and chick-lit genres, and she currently has 13 books available.<\/p>\n

Suzy recently started creating pre-made book covers for other authors, after having made her own for years. It\u2019s only since discovering a passion for photography and fine arts that she realised she had something to offer her fellow authors.<\/p>\n

Married to her childhood sweetheart, Michael, they live in the Algarve with their three adorable cats and a cheeky little dog. The couple grew up in Portugal, after moving there in 1986 when they were kids.<\/p>\n

In January 2021 Suzy launched a brand new 40+ lifestyle blog, The Grey Brunette, where she shares her love of style, beauty, travel, etc.<\/p>\n
