After 3 very successful cover design workshops in San Miguel de Allende

Margot Boland is pleased to announce

15 Secrets of Dynamic Book Cover Design
A Workshop for Writers

Date: Saturday, OCTOBER 6, (over) & Saturday OCTOBER 27, 2012 

Time: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. 

Where: Centro, directions upon registration

Who: The workshops are geared to writers who are self-publishing or those who need confidence when communicating with the design department of a traditional publisher. You will learn a vocabulary to express your point of view to the in-house designers and editors, and how to visualize the finished package you want for your self-published book. Learn common mistakes to avoid, and what makes a truly successful cover.

SPECIAL GUESTS!

For the October 6th workshop, I am pleased to announce that well-known San Miguel resident, GREGORY GUNTER, author of  The Cupola Collusion, will join us during the break and give insight into the creative collaboration between author and designer. Greg and I worked together to create the cover of the book which was a successful marketing tool at a writer’s convention held in New York City in July.

For the October 27th workshop, San Miguel’s very own writing guru, EVA HUNTER, will join us in the break to discuss the cover design process for her upcoming memoir, A Little Mormon Girl. She will describe decisions we made with her title and how her own family photographs are the dramatic basis of the cover we are working on.

Of Note: The Lord of the Dolls: Voyage in Xochimilco, a literary nonfiction/art photography collaboration of Eva Hunter with photographer Jo Brenzo, is now considered a rare book, and has recently been added to the prestigious Benson Collection at the Center for Mexican American Studies, The University of Austin Libraries, Branch, University of Texas.

Cost: 300 p. 

Registration: Each workshop is limited to 6 people.
Early registration advised! 100p deposit required to hold your place!
