Thanks to all of you who’ve publicly (and privately) given me feedback on the “Potential Boy @ The Window Book Covers” from last month. Much appreciated!

Based on suggestions from friends, Twitter peeps, family and students, above is the revised book cover that I intend to use for Boy @ The Window as eventual ebook and trade paperback. Again, please give me you feedback, of the positive and constructive criticism nature.

Up next: gathering more sage advice on the manuscript itself before I put it out there for public consumption, and myself out there as author (again).

I know. It’s barely been a month since I declared that I will self-publish Boy @ The Window this year, through the most reputable self-publishing program I can find, of course (see my post “The New Gameplan for Boy @ The Window” from last month). But I had to start with something less substantial than finding old photos from the Hebrew-Israelite years of my now deceased idiot ex-stepfather and of my younger siblings, paying a copy editor to comb for grammatical errors or setting up a version of the manuscript for eBook format. So I’ve posted some book cover designs I’ve been working on these last couple of weeks. I like some, but I’m not wedded to any of these (and will likely revise in the next month or so, even without additional input).

So please take a look, tell me which potential book covers you like or hate, are boring or spark no particular feelings at all. Give me you feedback, good, bad, ugly or indifferent. I’m a big boy – I can take it!
