Kathleen and Adanna welcome award-winning cover designer Eric Labacz to Talking Book Publishing for an engaging discussion on the art and strategy of book cover design. From his beginnings in graphic arts to becoming a trusted designer for publishers and indie authors, Eric shares how his experiences shape his unique approach to every project.

This conversation explores why a book's cover is often its most critical selling tool, especially in an online-dominated market. Eric discusses the challenges of balancing creativity with practical marketing needs, how he adapts designs across genres, and what authors should know before working with a professional designer.

Take advantage of Eric's upcoming webinar on December 5 at 11 a.m. Pacific Time! Attendees who register at wpnwebinars.com before November 31 will have the exclusive chance to submit a book cover for Eric to critique live during the session.
