"I would go with the second. Simple fonts look more professional. The shading and color fade on the first one looks like something I would do in grade school for my book report covers. The picture is gorgeous!"

We're delighted to have you in the novelist group, Cailin! You might introduce yourself by telling us what you’re working on in the “Show Me Your Novel and I’ll Show You Mine” discussion if you're not too uncomfortable talking about what you're working on. We save the wall for discussion, so please refrain from linking to blog posts there, but do add them in the “Links to Helpful Blog Posts for Writers” discussion thread.

And we do a live chat every Wednesday at 1EST; instructions on how to participate are in the "Our Water Cooler Wednesdays" box near the top of the group page.
