I’m about to publish my collection of short stories as an ebook. It’s been a very interesting process so far, lots to learn. I’ve just completed the cover designs. The stories will be available as bundles of three or four stories each, or you can buy the full collection that includes illustrations.
Designing ebook covers has some specific challenges as they need to read clearly at thumbnail size and also in grayscale , to look good to potential buyers browsing for books on their Kindles.
Here is the cover for the first bundle:

My next challenge is to format the text for ebook readers and insert the illustrations into the text. I’ve heard this can be very frustrating! Watch this space for more updates – if all goes well, these books will be available for sale soon. 🙂
