Community Guide

A generous place for book people.

BookCoverIndex Community is a space for authors, publishers, designers, and readers to exchange useful ideas about covers and publishing.

Code of Conduct

  • Be constructive. Explain what works, what does not, and why.
  • Be kind. Critique the work, never the person behind it.
  • Respect ownership. Do not claim, copy, or redistribute artwork that is not yours.
  • Stay relevant. Choose the group that best fits your discussion.
  • Protect privacy. Do not post private correspondence or personal information.

Writing with Markdown

Posts and comments support Markdown. Use **bold**, *italic*, lists, links, headings, and block quotes to keep longer discussions readable.

Cover Feedback

When requesting feedback, include the genre, intended reader, publishing format, and what kind of response would be useful. When giving feedback, remember that genre clarity and thumbnail readability often matter more than personal taste.

Moderation

Administrators may mute, edit, or remove posts and comments that are abusive, misleading, promotional spam, unsafe, or unrelated to the community.
