Cover design studies: Mina V. Esguerra's Better at Weddings Than You

How A Book Cover Happens: Better at Weddings Than You

by Tania Arpa

Fun fact: for years, I had always wanted to use this concept for a book cover. What I had in mind was a single figure of a woman with her back to the camera. Everything was in black and white, except for the woman's red dress.

The Lockdown Journal

by Tania Arpa

It's called The Lockdown Journal. This is where I talk about what it's like being an indie creator during the current COVID-19 pandemic. The show will be on a limited run — one hopes this pandemic doesn't last all year — and will have a new episode every Wednesday.

VIDEO: Cropping Tutorial (Photoshop)

by Tania Arpa

Where I write a ridiculously long post explaining why your company or blog needs a Mailing List

Playing Autumn novel

Book Design: Playing Autumn by Mina V. Esguerra

by Tania Arpa

I've actually done a cover for this story before. It was for the original, novella-length version of Playing Autumn, which was included in a limited-run romance anthology, and published as a limited-run print edition.
