Help Me Decide-2: #BookCover Finalist

Wednesday, June 6, 2026

Heartfelt thanks to everyone who visited my midweek post to help me choose a book cover for my upcoming nonfiction book.  It’s a resource book for authors, but it has loads of 1920s details for trivia lovers, and anyone who simply thinks the Roaring Twenties are the cat’s pajamas!

Previously I showed four cover concepts.  Click here for that post.  The fourth option was the most popular.  It was also my pick (probably…) because it used the same flapper silhouette as another book in the “Author Tool Chest” series, Speak Flapper. 

Still feeling the pull to explore ideas, I’ve made one more concept — this one based on that most popular concept.  So today, I’m showing those two.  For your reference, I’ve showed all of the other related books at the top of this post. 

The Previous Idea

Gold flapper dancing

One More Idea

Because everyone “got” my idea with the typewriter, I made it more prominent.  The book covers a wide range of 1920s details for any character in a Roaring Twenties setting.  So, to show that the book is about more than “flapper girls” I used a man and a woman.

Which of these two do you think works best for the book?  Your constructive feedback is welcome.  I hope your weekend is the bee’s knees!  Hugs.

Recently took a break from helping to organise this great writing group. If you enjoy writing with a group of friendly researchers, it's worth having a look.

The group meets fortnightly and writes for the day.
