This is super interesting! The covers I’ve seen perform really well are almost like brand packaging - the kind of thing you’d blow up, frame, and put on a wall. I think the tricky point is marketing to those just outside of TikTok, (generalising here) the 30+ year olds?

I have yet to see a push for authors who do more that write a book - indie authors can do everything (and bear the responsibility for how it works as well): Cover design, interior formatting, narrating (as read by author) - can these additional skills enhance the value of a book for a reader? Artisan books, as it were - produced entirely by the artist.
