For Discerning Historical Authors
A book’s cover is the first thing a reader sees. From this, he/she receives their initial information about what the story is about. You cannot put too much importance on this. A good cover should convey the feel of the story, hint at its violence and sensuality levels, the era, conflict, and location. Vital information. Choose carefully and do not hesitate to ask for aid in making your decision. Remember to go all the way to the bottom of a page as that is where some of the newer covers may be found. Hover over the cover to see the title and code. Click to enlarge.
New covers are loaded at the bottom; that’s just how the software works. I do try to move the best of the new covers to the top but it’s wise to check the bottom.
Silver Sage Book Covers was created by Charlene Raddon for authors of historical romance novels. Her specialty is Western/Victorian romance. There are also categories for non-romantic Western (single men usually), Medieval/Regency/etc., Contemporary, Series, and a sale page of pre-made covers priced $30 or less. Covers ordered from the sale page on a Friday are $20. All premade covers are $50. Custom covers are $75. Print covers ordered at the same time as ebook covers are $5 cheaper than if ordered separately. If ordered later, they are $40. Print covers are as much work as ebooks.
Don’t be afraid to ask for changes. Clothing and colors can often be changed. Even heads. If you see a model you like but don’t like the rest of the cover, request a change in background. If you like the cover but not the model, as for a change. Depending on the work involved, you may be charged for a custom cover. I do have a page now of just models, one for men, one for women. You can choose your own and then I’ll work with you to create the background There is no extra charge for this.
All Silver Sage book covers are unique and will never be sold more than once. Print covers are available as well as e-Book. Print covers are an additional $40. e-Book and print ordered together are $85.
For Custom Covers, Please Use the Form in the Sidebar. Good luck finding what you want, and best wishes for the success of your book.
