STORY QUESTIONS 1. What is the final title we are using? DO NOT PUT THE TITLE ON THE COVER. LEAVE SPACE ON THE TOP, I WILL DO IT LATER ON CANVA. 2. Is the book being positioned more as tragic fantasy, epic fantasy, or fantasy romance tragedy? OUR GENRE IS "Dragons & Mythical Creatures" BUT IF YOU HAVE TO SELECT ANY OF YOUR OPTIONS, IT WILL BE "epic fantasy". 3. Should the cover emphasize Falugha’s innocence or the danger of the human world? NON OF THEM. 4. Should readers immediately understand that Falugha is a dragon who becomes human, or should that remain mysterious? YOU HAVE THIS WRONG. FALUGHA IS A HUMAN GIRL WHO WAS BROUGHT TO THE DRAGON COUPLE WHEN SHE WAS A BABY. IGNORE THIS QUESTION. ------------------------------------------------------------ CHARACTER QUESTIONS ------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Should Falugha appear as a human girl on the cover? SHE SHOULD APPEAR AS A SILHOUETTE HUMAN GIRL. 2. Should R’Ang and Auxul appear directly, or only through dragon silhouettes/wings? DIRECTLY. 3. Should Talsah appear on the cover, or would that make the book look too romance-forward? NO. 4. Should the pendant be a major visual symbol? NOT REALLY. YOU CAN PUT THE PENDANT ON THE COVER BUT IT DOES NOT NEED TO BE PROMINENT. ------------------------------------------------------------ SETTING QUESTIONS ------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Is the mountain home the most important visual setting? YES BUT NOT THE INSIDE THE HOME. OUTSIDE VISUAL IS BETTER. 2. Do we want the human village/city visible below the mountain? NO. 3. Should the cover feel cold, ancient, and tragic — or warmer and more magical? I WANT SOME RED OR REDDISH COLOR + AMBER. YOU DON'T HAVE TO USE THEM AS THE DOMINAN COLORS. ------------------------------------------------------------ THEME QUESTIONS ------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Which theme is most important for selling the book? - Innocence - Forbidden love - Parent-child love - Fear between species - Tragedy - Identity - Sacrifice TRAGEDY. 2.
