Help! Dealing with conflicts with your publisher
Hi! I'm in a bit of a bind right now. My publisher got a cover designer to make 5 book cover options for my novel, and they prefer one while I strongly feel for another. First they agreed to go with my choice. But now they are backing off, saying that the sales reps, who know best what sells, also prefer their choice, and would make my book a key title if only I agree to use their choice of cover. But I don't like their choice, both because I feel like it reveals the ending of my book and because I find it plain ugly/in bad taste. I'm not sure whether I should stand my ground, or defer to their decision *because they have more experience than me*. Anyone has experience with this kind of issues? Thanks a lot!
