What makes a great romance cover
Romance readers know what they want, and the cover tells them in a glance. Soft or rich colors, a flowing script title, and a clear feeling (sweet, steamy or funny) help your book find the right reader.
- Script or elegant serif fonts signal romance right away.
- Blush, plum and warm tones read sweet; deep reds and black read steamy.
- Match the mood of your subgenre: rom-com covers are bright and playful.
- Leave room for a tagline or series name.
