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.

I still prefer #1 but I like Linda’s idea of including a dancing man. I think we are all in love with your flapper, and she needs to be on the cover. xo

I like the idea of bringing in a man too, so if you could use the first cover with a slightly-smaller female flapper, with a male dancing to her right, you’d have aced it. Failing that, I’d stick with the first cover. 🙂
