Hi all!

Here are the cover flaps for Heartstopper Volume 1! I had a long think about what to include and decided to write a longer blurb for the front flap, and my author bio for the back flap. I'm really happy with how they look!

Don't worry about the price for now - that's just approximate. It'll be more definite once I've actually got a quote for how much it's going to print to cost. I also need to expand the flaps a bit to leave room for the bleed on each side (the bit that might or might not get cut off in printing).

Next up I've got to face an unfortunate setback - I accidentally designed most of this cover in RGB colour instead of CMYK colour. For those of you who have no idea what that means, basically CMYK is the standard colour format for printing physical things, while RGB is more just for digital stuff. So if I were to get these printed while the colours were RGB, all the vibrancy would fade and it'd look super dull. So I think I'm going to have to re-colour most of it in a new CMYK file. Yippee. 

But I want this thing to be perfect, haha! I'll keep you updated :)

Hey Alice you don't need to recolor it! You can apply a filter for the colors to accommodate on the CMYK I think (I'm having classes of printing now so I'm not 100% sure tho haha)

Also it depends more of the type of paper you're going to print it than if it's on RGB of CMYK

Idk if this has been addressed already but where would you sell copies?

I'm planning to do a Kickstarter campaign, so you'll be able to get one by supporting that! But I'm hoping to have extra copies printed so I can sell it in my art shop too :)

Not sure! I'm not too sure how to sell books on Amazon (my other books are published by HarperCollins, so they handle that sort of thing). My priority will be the Kickstarter and selling them in my online art shop, I think :)
