Subject: Can you help me out? Thanks for helping me out with the cover for my book, Youthful Aging Secrets. My book will be officially published on July 14th, that’s less than 3 weeks from now [GULP]. Since you’re such a helpful person, I’d like to ask if you would be willing to act a test reader and give some feedback. Your feedback will help to give the book its final shape and shine. If you are willing to join the YA Posse, and have time in the next week to read Youthful Aging Secrets and give me some feedback, I’d be really grateful. If you’re interested, please click here and a PDF my book will download for review straight away. Thanks – you make a difference! If you don’t want to be part of the “YA Posse” (the fun name for the group willing to lend a hand), please disregard this email. No hard feelings! Warmly – Mary
ABOUT THE BOOK Youthful aging is the new paradigm. Be inspired by 13 true stories of youthful agers who made their mature years the best time of their life. Find out their secrets of getting the body back in shape, sharpening the mind, and boosting the creative juices. ABOUT THE DESIGN The required dimensions of the cover are: 2813 x 4500 pixels. The imagery should be upbeat and make the viewer feel optimistic and confident about their ability to reverse the aging process and be inspired to think that retirement age is a door to a whole new, exciting and productive life. It’s important that the book ‘pops off the shelf” and catches the eye. The most important aspect for us is “does it sell”, not “does it look pretty”. So it’s very important that is catches the eye, is very polished, and very engaging and interesting.
