Description

Join us for an interview with Kate's cover designer, Jess Jenkins, about how the cover for Nightbirds came to be, from conception to execution. They talked about how to find the right vibe for a particular book, choosing an artist, text placement and more. They also talked through how and when different groups within the publisher weigh in, and how Jess got into this line of work in the first place.

We’ll be back in a future episode to talk about Amie’s cover — it’s still a work in progress, but that progress is looking gorgeous. In the meantime, if you’d like an extra dose of Amie, you can check out the first issue of her personal newsletter right here, and subscribe if you like.

Make sure to sign up for the Pub Dates newsletter that publishes each time a new episode drops. It's full of images of the things we discuss, plus behind-the-scenes snippets and a comment section where you can join in on the fun. You can also add The Isles of the Gods and Nightbirds on Goodreads, and U.S. readers can officially preorder Nightbirds right now!
