I also have a friend who writes in a different genre, and she and I exchange our manuscripts before they ever get sent to our agents. Great question...thank you for asking!Sandra Brettinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05917049154009504917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507068359482836716.post-26004856987991925112016-02-09T21:36:45.196-05:002016-02-09T21:36:45.196-05:00Do you have a test reader who you trust to read yo...Do you have a test reader who you trust to read your drafts before the editor sees it?Sue A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01254019921532593363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507068359482836716.post-35784677755406126242016-02-09T19:37:43.996-05:002016-02-09T19:37:43.996-05:00Hi - we don't have any influence over the cove...Hi - we don't have any influence over the cover art...isn't that crazy? We'll usually submit the book with its title to our publisher. Nine times out of ten, they'll keep the same title. The artists do ask us for visual cues, though, and my main character was physically based on actress Debra Messing. So there ya go :)Sandra Brettinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05917049154009504917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507068359482836716.post-64726113657248150862016-02-09T18:50:19.345-05:002016-02-09T18:50:19.345-05:00I really like the cover, especially the skull on t...I really like the cover, especially the skull on the top of the hat box!

She probably had the most influence on me as a writer. Thank you for asking!
