New version looks good. You've got a good internal compass.
As per normal, I'll still wait until you hit your stride. Those first 3 chapters on this site can be rough

Put out a new book cover, with a little more effort involved. Let me know what you think.

Since this is a private site and a draft copy, it might be acceptable to use a picture of George Jetson in his spaceship as the working cover. It would instantly make me curious to start reading.

Haha that would be funny. Was the new one I made no good?

Re: 2,000 Years Later - Will H.
It was better than your first one, but if you're willing to bend trademark rules, George's ship or a picture of the Tardis will get you more reads. Because the images on this site are so small, I don't know what's on your cover other than a (your?) face. The stuff to the left is too blurry. Maybe have the face looking at a futuristic ship launching. My working cover for Galaxy Tales evolved over time and yours probably will too. Word to the wise: I have OCD and sweat the small shit. Doesn't mean you need to.

One thing you might try is browsing through Amazon's book covers for similar genre. Imitate whatever you think will result in the most clicks on our site.
Cool title by the way. If you want a laugh, have a look at the number of posts in my LOTE thread about possible titles. OCD on steroids. Kdot writes whole books in the time it takes me to pick a name.

Haha thanks dirk, I remember reading that thread. I know what it’s like when no matter how much you tweak something it just doesn’t sit right... until it does. Very frustrating sometimes!

Take what Temple says with a grain of salt.Dont get me wrong, the girl has skilz, but she lacks a teaching bug. Take it that you need to work on dialogue and that is all. I usually read my stuff out loud to get the voices right. Then I have the computer read it to me. It lets you hear stilted phrasing and unnatural wordings. It can sometimes be a quick fix

TW also has one model for style. It serves her well, for the kind of story she is writing. It would not serve as well for Amy's story, or the stories of K's world, or for my story.

Still here dirk, though I haven’t read any reviews. Wedding is on May 11th and I’ve been loaded with planning, and haven’t been able to write between school work and my upcoming ceremony. Once i finish up I’ll be back to peak activity. Until then though

I hear you. For me it's tax season in three countries, and the Antichrist half of my story is not coming together
Congratulations on your wedding!
