![]() ![]() Your podcast Miss Congeniality, your lists on TikTok. Right? This is where we know you from from social media. So I think that’s really cool how you symbolize that in this cover.īRITTANY: So, let’s talk about your experience of taking your three-minute TikTok videos. And yeah, it really, like you said, it’s not necessarily about being brokenhearted, but about, you know, finding those pieces and putting those pieces together. I know they always say don’t judge a book by its cover, but if I saw this book in a store, I would gravitate towards it. But I’m really grateful for said process because it wound up being exactly what we needed and what I needed at the end of the day.īRITTANY: Again, the attention to detail. And that’s when it was really like, “Oh, wow, this is the cover.” So it was definitely quite the process. We asked HarperCollins if they could check if they could buy it and if they could replace the image on the cover we liked with that image instead. So we found the image that’s on the cover. It’s like a whole thing with copyright and whatnot. So one of my agents was like, “What if we could find an image that was like a bunch of broken candy hearts in the shape of a heart?” So we started searching for clip art, and you can license and purchase clipart. Your ability to heal is all you really have.” So it didn’t really make full sense to have that cover be a broken heart. It’s moreso about you can have a broken heart, but you can’t ever really lose yourself like you, and your choice is all you really have. ![]() So my agents and I were side barring the three of us, and having a conversation about it, and we were like, “It isn’t really about being brokenhearted. So that was something that was happening throughout the process as we saw different covers, and we were seeing covers that had just one candy heart that was broken, and it was actually the same colorways of the same pink, the same yellow, and the same fonts, but it just didn’t feel right. The decision is obviously yours at the end of the day as the author, but you’re consulting them constantly, especially if you have a good relationship with them. If you’re not familiar with the publishing industry, the sort of role of an agent after they like, advocate for you and help you to sell your book is sort of like acting as a liaison between you and the publisher, you and your editor, and things like the cover will be a conversation that always includes your agent. ![]() So it’s actually kind of an interesting story because it’s less so that it was presented to me and more so that I went out looking for it. When you saw this, what made you think that’s the cover of the book?ĮLI: Yeah. I want to go back and look at this.” So, in this book, there is just so much information and attention to detail, right? Everything from your rules to your tips and even the cover I saw you went through like a cake design, an animated silhouette, and even another version of the candy hearts. Let me tell you, some of them were questions that I wanted to ask, but also some I wanted to remember things, like, “I want to remember this. I haven’t marked up a book like this since high school. We have it right here, and you can see I marked it up. I’m so excited.īRITTANY: Congratulations on your book, I Didn’t Know I Needed This. BRITTANY: Eli, thank you so much for speaking with Glitter today.ĮLI: Thank you for having me. ![]()
