It takes so much vision to be able to communicate what you want, and the collaboration here at DILIM Press with the editor, illustrator, and contributors has been a joyful process that has encouraged each of us to “step up.”
How we do anything is how we do everything, and in the case of these covers, here are some samples of how the cover came to its current iteration.
First find people who can help you, or who can challenge you. When people are able to work closer and closer to a tighter vision, the finished project gets better and better. Never settle for one version, try as hard as you can to work with multiple revisions to get to what you’d really want.
