As a cover artist I am a VERY visual person. When it comes to series one very important aspect I try to bring to the attention of clients is that theme and consistency create a better platform for marketing. When the second and third book in your series come out you want readers to know as soon as they see the cover that is BELONGS to that series. Here are some amazing examples via books I am currently in love with!
What are some series themes you love?
