    Oh, nice! Looks as creative as its topic. :)

    Some suggestions to play with:

    Try stacking the title words like (imagine them centered, though)
    From
    Pancake Art
    to
    Slime

    Then capitalize Plans, but keep all that on one line as you have it.

    I'd move the whole title up--maybe remove that solid white box? Shift the whole pale white box up?

    Author name bigger. Possibly even a lot bigger. :)

    I'm not sure how my title arrangement suggestion would look, honestly. So the results might not be as good. In that case, I'd just move the "to" to the next line. You want "Pancake Art" together, but "Slime" is looking lonely all by itself...

    Very appealing! Makes you want to open it... (one question in general - will some readers see our covers in black and white? If so, how would it look?)

    Oh, I like that second version! Do you? And yes, a few people will see the book on their own devices in black and white (people like me! who have super old Kindles). But the color cover would still show up on retail sites.

    The second version looks great!

    If you like that second version too, I'd see if you could make the title font larger (fill the space!), though the subtitle seems fine. Also I think you have more white space between "to Slime" and the bottom line than you do between "From" and the top line. But see how large ou can go with the font.

    Ah, one more thing... as you're playing around with fonts, you might look for one that has a single-story small a instead of a double. An image to show you what I mean. Just clearer for kids (and yes, I know kids aren't reading the book!). Anyway, you can experiment and see what you like. Sans serif fonts are very popular now for book covers.

Hi everyone, just catching up with watching the recording of the first webinar session and I have a couple of questions/requests: – I can't find the link to the sample book Dorothy mentions (50 Ways to Practice Writing). Probably being oblivious, but I have looked up and down the posts here. Can anyone help? – I would be grateful for any extra resources to help get to grips with Styles in Word (I'm working using Word for Mac) Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to give!

Hi :)

Hi :) I'm a freelance (mainly) one-to-one tutor in Hungary, teaching all sorts of students with different purposes: very young learners, children who need extra help with their school work, exam prep, adults, business Engish, etc. Why am I into publishing? My experience is that young and teen learners today are not too engaged with traditional ELT materials. Some of them do not want to learn English at all. On the other hand, they love to make slime, paper planes, cook, make stop-motion videos, they are also willing to make an effort to get what they want in terms of experience. The idea in mind is a collection of lesson sequences and probably worksheets built of activities like these. I can't wait :)
