Addie has so many elements to her story, which do you choose to emphasize? For me, the seven stars were important. It was a long time of looking at covers that looked very much like they would sell but didn’t feel like my book, or felt like my book but didn’t necessarily feel like the right market. I wanted Addie ’s cover to be a propulsive force rather than a hurdle. I know the power of a cover A Darker Shade of Magic was one of those books that every time I did a signing somebody brought up the fact that they’d never heard of the book, they’d stumbled across it in a bookstore and the cover drew them in. Everyone on the team felt very aware of that and it became a process of figuring out which direction the cover could go in. This was a book that was going to branch out from my fantasy base to inch roots into literary and general fiction. The book was always called The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, but the cover took a long time to find the right iteration of. What was the design process like for you?Ĭovers, much like titles, rarely have simple journeys.
