I’m so glad you like them!! Is now a good time to mention I have like 5 other designs in progress (and a pinterest board with over 500 pins 😭😭😭)

I'll make a longer post explaining my thought process + the other ideas I have sometime tomorrow. When I’m done, I’d love to poll people’s favourites to see which should become the final cover! Should I finish the other mock-ups, or is 6 already an obscene number of options???

On the left side of the page there are three book covers with simple art. All have the title 'thhis story we found ourselves in' and 'Eska Writes' as the author. Next to each design is a collage of reference images. The first design is a New York Brownstone covered in snow. All the windows are dark except one where two figures huddle under a blanket. The Second design is an American Robin sitting on the hilt of a longsword. The third design has white line art on a black background and shows the torso of two figures linking pinkies. On their hands the figures have bright gold rings.
Three book cover designs with the title "this story we found ourselves in" and "Eska Writes". The top middle design is broken up into a front cover, back cover, and spine. They are made up of one continuous image - a painting of a woman in bed and rumpled sheets. The middle right design contains a black and white photo of a couple holding hands. The bottom left design contains a black and white photo of a snowy New York street. There are two figures in the mid ground walking with an umbrella covered in snow.
