Author C.V. Walter Presents Workshop to Design Fiction Book Covers
The Tom Burnett Memorial Library Writer’s Group invites the public to attend their monthly meeting on Monday, January 17, 2022 at 7 p.m., when a visiting Sci-Fi Romance author will present a workshop on creating eye-catching book covers for self-published writers.
C.V. Walter will present a workshop on ‘Bootstrapping Book Covers for Genre Fiction’. This workshop will focus on how to research a target market and which techniques work best in today’s publishing industry. She will cover multiple genres including; westerns, sci-fi, fantasy, young adult, romance, and others as time permits.
C.V. is the international best-selling author of over 100 self-published books and stories. Her latest novel, Captivating the Alien Captain: Alien Brides Book Four released last December and the next book in the series, Pursued by the Alien Pilot, Alien Brides Book Five, will release this spring.
C.V. Walter began her publishing journey in 2011 with her first fantasy romance book and has continued to publish multiple books across many different genres each year while studying how to make a novel look like it belongs to a specific genre while standing out enough to grab the reader’s attention.
Through this interactive and hands-on workshop, writers will learn to research, identify, and apply genre signals to the best of their advantage.
C.V. is a full-time author with a BA in English Literature and lives in Denver, Colorado with her husband and two kids. She will host many book signings at events around the country this year. She is a member of North Texas Troublemakers and hopes to one day move to Texas.
She will be available to sign and sell books following the event.
