Kobo Writing Life

@michaeljlalonde Thank you for sharing! That cover looks great

@KoboWritingLife I used Adam Hay from Reedsy. He did the cover art for my debut novel: The Quiet War: Canadian front. I was so impressed with his work that I had him develop the covers for the next few installments. See attached for an example of his work.

Everyone talks about Kindle and Amazon for books, but I want to shine a light on Kobo, who have their own subscription program like Kindle Unlimited called Kobo Plus that has eBooks & audiobooks for cheaper than KU alone. It's also better for authors! kobo.com/en/p/kobo-plus…
