In a highly crowded marketplace, a book cover has only seconds to grab a reader’s attention. How do you create that showstopping design that stands out against the competition and draws the reader in?

In this cover design masterclass, Guardian's books reporter, Alison Flood talks to some of the UK’s leading Cover Designers including Creative Directors Donna Payne (Faber & Faber) and Suzanne Dean (VINTAGE). Joined by Scottish Buying Manager, Angie Crawford (Waterstones), the panelists will share their expertise and take a closer look into what makes a compelling cover design that instigates sales.

Whether you are an aspiring cover designer, publishing professional or someone with a genuine interest in book jackets, this event promises to explore how to design a book cover that sells.
