This guest article is from Claire Peacey, who made the covers for Vile and the recently released Dead Moon, both available on Amazon. Claire is a fantastic professional artist working in book covers and RPG Art – not only does she produce wonderful work but she is a pleasure to work with. In this article, she talks about her process for designing the cover of Dead Moon, with examples of drawings during the process to the final product. After taking a look, check out her website at https://cpeacey.wixsite.com/autumnsky.
Having had a load of fun with producing the cover for ‘Vile’ it was fantastic to hear back from Keith about some new work – in a totally different direction. As before, the provision of a detailed description and some thumbnail sketches really helped with being able to establish a few different ideas for the work and get a feel for the sort of world Keith had created.

When I made the decision to be an Indie author, one of the hardest parts was knowing I would lose out on the editorial and professional support you get from a traditional publisher. I knew if I was to improve I needed help. I also knew that professional support was expensive. So where to go? How could I know what I needed? Where should I start?
Thanks to a recommendation from a friend, I went to The Literary Consultancy (TLC). That is how I met Joe Sedgwick. It was with his help I met the editors that have immeasurably improved my two novels and my writing in general. In this article I interview Joe, who explains what TLC do and how they can help authors with their work. I will say, by way of introduction, that getting Joe’s help was one of the best decision I ever made for my writing career.
I wasn’t paid for this article, nor to I have any arrangement with TLC beyond being a paying customer. I wanted to do this interview because TLC have helped me enormously and they may be able to help you too.
Over to Joe.
