Cover Art Ideas!
Option #1
Now that I’m almost finished my manuscript and ready to send it off to my editor, I’m turning my thoughts to the book’s cover design.
The working title I’m using is: “A Storyboard Life: One woman’s unexpected adventures in the world of documentary films & how the films changed her life” (w/t).
My book falls into the category of a ‘hybrid memoir,’ a personal story that also teaches the reader something they may not know about. In my case, it’s the world of documentary film and public television.
I took this photo of a model at Asheville’s Costume Drama back in 2012 and love how it illustrates how I literally wrapped myself up in the films I worked with, often allowing them to shape or change my life.
Okay, let’s hear your thoughts!
Kristin Fellows is a published writer, world traveler, and a well-seasoned documentary film consultant. This tale comes to you from a small farming village in Portugal, where she is still surprised to find herself living.
When not writing, Kristin can often be found listening to someone’s story or behind the lens of one of her cameras.

I think it's too abstract--the fact that you need to explain it's meaning to us is a sign to me that it's not the best option. Can't wait to see some others!
I'm with everyone else. I have a gorgeous and fabulous cousin, and she deserves to be on the cover of her book!
That said, you've been in my thoughts with all the news coverage about the stopping of federal support for NPR and PBS. With all your work supporting documentary filmmakers being shown on public broadcasting, I hate to think what that could do to these storytellers in the future...
