Looking over the homepage, I see no one except Marilyn has bothered to post a cover image for their poem or short story. Fortunately, the book authors have done a good job. Thank you, authors of books.

What many don't realize is that the written word is only one form of communication. Readers are often drawn to a book by the cover. It's not an insult to a writer or a reader. It's just the way some people's brains are wired. Mine is one of those. In school, I had a hard time deciding between a major in art or language.

For those of you whose works are currently appearing in plain, nondistinctive wrappers, I have a few questions.

If you can't be bothered to pull a free image from the internet to set the mood and lure the reader, what does that say about how much you value your own work?

While we're talking about the increasingly lazy attitude of members (in other threads), think about this: why should we care about your work if you don't?

What's the point of having a home page (created with a great deal of effort in the days when the site was being built) that offers readers and authors an opportunity to enhance their stories, poems, etc., with illustrations if no one takes advantage of it?

I wish you'd try a little harder to present your work in an appealing way. It means something to a lot of us.  JP
