Book Cover Needed

Window Seat Books

Window Seat Books is a new independent publisher and online bookstore that offers resources and community for writers and quality content for readers, making it the ideal place to read and be read.

We are publishing a book for a new author and need a cover design.

The final size for the book will be 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and will be paperback, full color cover. The book is about 100 pages, so account for the spine size.

Book title: Dignity is a Renewable Resource
Subtitle (in smaller text): And Courage Takes Balls
By Shanna Goodman

The back cover should have info about the book (just use placeholders for now), a spot for the bar code, info about the author with place holder for author photo, and info about the publisher. The publisher is Window Seat Books. http://www.WindowSeatBooks.com. Also include the price $12.95.

What I'm envisioning is a white cover with a 1950's type housewife wearing a dress, pushing a wheel barrow full of ball-pit balls. The woman might be smiling with one high-heeled foot kicked back. (See uploaded graphics for some inspirations. Don't use these images as they're just things I pulled off the internet). I'd like the woman on the cover to somewhat resemble me- see picture I've uploaded.

The target audience is women aged 18 to 40 that are fed up with unrealistic life expectations. The book is cheeky self help and has a self empowerment theme.

The final design should be provided in Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Indesign- CS3 or newer.
