Should You Put Yourself on Your Book Cover? [27]
Show Notes

Hi there! Welcome back to The Author Entrepreneur Podcast, episode 27! It's been a crazy week over here (including a trip to the ER for the little guy), but I'm hoping this episode will provide inspiration for you as you navigate your book journey.

Today we’re diving into a frequent question I get about book covers for those that are using their book to build their brand/biz (AKA author entrepreneurs like you and me!).

In this episode, I’m answering a simple question: should you, the author, put yourself on your book cover?

***WHAT WE’RE COVERING TODAY***

1. [SPOILER ALERT] Why, 9 times out of 10, I say NO, you shouldn't put yourself on your book cover

2. What the happy compromise is for your cover and how you can have an eye-catching cover without yourself on the front (but still be able to include an image of you!)

3. The exception to the rule, or when I would say YES to you putting yourself on your  book cover
