This is so incredibly insightful! Thank you for sharing this part of the journey with us, I cannot wait to have the final copy in my hands! Truly feels like a labour of love every step of the way!! You’re always sharing artwork and have done many collabs with artists, so it’s only fitting that your published work gets the most wonderful, thought out, creative results too!
This is my most anctipated release this year. Thank you for this special behind the scenes look. Congrats on such a beautiful piece of art both inside the pages and all these cover details!
I broke my ankle running to read this new post! So thrilled to peek behind the scenes into your thought process. While I’m always wary of parasocial relationships in this age of social media, I feel like we’re on this journey with you and so grateful that we get to celebrate your success as an artist and storyteller.
The art is jaw dropping, oh my god. These artists are unbelievably good at what they do. Thank you for showing us even a small fraction of the art. I cannot WAIT to read this book.
Im so excited!!! Im so happy that you love the people you are working for with this as well as their amazing art!! I always hear stories of new authors not having any say in their book’s design, but just looking at this I know its going to be amazing!
I think it’s such a testament to your writing and this story that even the publishers can’t seem to get enough art.
What an absolute delight to see behind the curtain in this way and understand the process behind the design. Thank you so much for continuing to support so many other creators through your work.
And yes, the comparison between horror and romance you draw out is so relevant. Love can have a cruelty to it even while it’s beautiful.
Golly, Gosh, I did not know so much detail went into the art of covers, I feel sort of overwhelmed after reading this, but thanks for sharing. I cannot wait for September/October to read and listen (I hope there is also an audio version) to this book, just in time for the spooky season. I am really happy for you SenLinYu.
I was ready to go on and on about the dark yet eerily enchanting imagery the art conveys and the way that it feels alive in the very best way and why this feeling - at least to me - is just a perfect representation of gothic literary experiences BUT THEN you mentioned a dragon ouroboros and a hedge maze and I lost it.

I’m so excited for Alchemised! The cover art is also possibly my all-time favorite and I loved learning the story behind it ❤️
