Are you ready?! It's Cover Reveal Time!

A first look at the cover of my book, a story on the craft of advocating for your creativity, and the story behind its design

I will totally judge a book by its cover. I think it’s how we honor the graphic designers and editors who listened to the author and developed a plan in creation with them. A beautiful and intriguing book cover is a part of the book writing process. So when my final book cover was sent to me I cried.

I have been holding the cover of The Hero and the Whore close to my heart for these past two months. I didn’t want to show it to folks because every time I saw it I would worship and stomp like I was back in the pews of a Black Missionary Baptist church. This book cove is everything I wanted and could not yet imagine in a single design. I’m grateful to the team at WJK Publishing for listening to my requests and creating this dream.

Are you ready to see the cover?!
