Please forgive me,(and feel free to spin me in the correct direction and spank my bottom for asking a dumb question) i've looked in several places for this question and i'm very new to Absolute Write but this question has bothered me for ages. Where does cover-art come from for novels, books etc. I know the obvious answer is 'an artist', but who slaps the art onto the cover of a novel? Can the writer possibly have the art commisioned themselves or, if that is not the case and the writer dosen't want to bother, will the publisher do this?
