How important are the efforts of an author in regards to what they want on their bookcovers? How much 'imput' does an author have who is published by a major publisher?
In '81 when DAW published my Banners of the Sa'yen, I had no imput whatsoever. Fortunately they chose a 'legend' in the Fantasy sci-fi artworld to do the cover. And it was fabulous!
I am not being published these days by a major house. So i am deeply involved in the artwork. But whether big, or small, or self-published, I think an author should be involved intimately in the art.
What do you think?
