1 - I have a simple plea - could more publishers start crediting cover designers and illustrators on their social media posts, particularly cover reveals which I find odd when it’s missing 🙏🏾

6. 'The darker puzzle option ended up being the chosen one, and after a few small tweaks and adding some extra lines of copy it was approved! I loved working on this cover, it was great fun to play around with this idea and see it come to life.'

[Allen & Unwin UK @AllenAndUnwinUK]

5. 'After trying out some colours I decided to bring back the figures & dark background from the previous round. I thought placing the figures randomly would be more interesting and fit better with the idea I was trying to convey, that we are all connected in one way or another.'

[Allen & Unwin UK @AllenAndUnwinUK]

4. 'The first round of visuals had a few different routes, one portraying the characters and their humanity, and the other developing the puzzle idea. The puzzle was the favourite. There was concern that it might veer towards romance, so I was asked to develop this a bit more.'
