@AHumbleWarrior I can’t see your profile and send you a DM. I think you would have to change your settings for me to do that. I am interested. I’m a graphic designer but not an illustrator, so I either work with stock photos and text to finish a cover layout or work with a painter or...

I’ll DM you. Thanks. And thank you @Nicola

I apologize, Nicola. I just saw this. I need to turn on notifications or start checking this site more often. Book covers are difficult. I subscribe to a number of emails from the largest book sellers just to look at all the covers. It's like reading, the more good covers you look at the more...

You are welcome. 

I’m thinking along these lines for my book. Hollywood is not the center of the movie universe. I live in Georgia where both big films and indie filmmaking is huge. You don’t have to have a major production company or distributor to make a movie. Do you have a publisher you work with? Ask them to...

I’m a huge fan of sci-fi. Most big theatrical release movies, TV shows and made for streaming movies are warmed up leftovers. I love the idea of Dune being done right, if it was done right. However, this will be Dune version number three. Do we really need four reboots of Spiderman? Most of the...

The whole book basically! 

I tend to see my writing as a movie scene that I’m wanting to describe in detail. Sounds, smells, temperature, textures, the loft of the trees above or blue skies or anything else can be described in detail.

I read somewhere that the dinner party scene in Dune was extremely complicated and difficult to write for Frank Herbert. I can see why. It seems like it would be hard to write a scene where you have to keep all the locations of all the guests in the reader’s mind while there is a back-and-forth...
