I have the opportunity to update the cover of my book, My Crazy Purple Pen (originally released in 2012).To help me decide on the new cover, I put out a Facebook post featuring the original cover together with 6 alternative options. I also sought feedback from other friends and family. Thank you to everyone who gave me their feedback.
It has to be said that there was no clear front runner, but it does seem that the addition of the stars and ink spots is preferable to the characters. The designs without any additional features were least popular. The addition of the purple/pink border was preferred by quite a few of you but I am concerned that this colour scheme may make the book less appealing to boys. The cover with the blue border creates a more gender neutral design overall and is very eye-catching but perhaps too much so!
So, I have made a decision. The new cover can be seen below and should be available within the next few days.
