Book cover design: Offbeat business coaching workbook for creative entrepreneurs

Business & Consulting

I'm a business coach for entrepreneurs. I help passionate people figure out where they want their business to go and how to get there. I work mainly with creative people who may or may not be working in traditionally creative fields. My audience is those passionate people who are stuck in a job they don't love and are wanting to change their work lives. My people want inspiration, truth, and guidance in a workbook that can help them figure out what they want to do and how to make it happen without succumbing to the fear and negativity that's often surrounding them. 

1. Keywords: informal, interactive, transitions, passion, purpose, quirky, conversational, creative, nontraditional, right-brain, warm & fuzzy, emotional 2. The book's trim size is 7 wide x 10 tall and will be about 330 pages. 3. Content for front cover:  Title is Work Live Revolution Tagline is Feed your belly & your soul with a business on your terms. (the last 'your' is italicized) Author name is Laura E. Burns 4. Content for back cover: The author information is currently inside the book, but I'd love to see some back cover options that include my photo as well as a blurb and some pull quotes from reviewers. I need space for the bar code in the lower right back corner.  5. It's an emotional guide through the transition from a soul-crushing career to establishing a business or brand that brings joy into your life.The workbook is conversational and personal - it asks people to dig deep and really work through the emotional and situational obstacles keeping them from accomplishing their dreams. Throughout the workbook there are journaling pages and other exercises. They will be writing all over this thing. Because the book is so informal I think the cover can be more on the quirky side, and not look like the other more traditional business books out there. I'd really like this to stand out from other biz self-help books and I'm totally ok with it looking very different from the others.  6. I've included the Table of Contents in the files section, but more information and a downloadable sample of the book is available on my website - http://lauraburnsconsulting.com/WorkLifeRevolution.html 7. I hate a lot of the self-help books that look really dated, and I'd really like to keep the cover clean, modern, colorful, and even a little quirky and unique. The sample section on my website that I linked to earlier should help you see what the design aesthetic of the interior looks like. In the book there is a consistent use of { } brackets and Learning Curve font in regular and dashed. That could be something carried over onto the cover. I am open to many directions for this cover. I really just want it to be eye-catching, welcoming, and look great in a thumbnail.
