I know that prolly sounds like a silly question, but I'm curious if anyone finds that once they start "writing" as a pastime or career, if it changes their reading habits.
I've always been really into reading new writers. But I have a confession to make (please don't shoot) - often times with new writers, I have a tendency to be affected by the cover art as combined with the synopsis - at least as far as that "quick pick" thing goes. I know that's awful and somewhat shallow, and if the synopsis is good enough to catch my attention, even really uninteresting or "bad" cover art won't deter me. But...
Also, a 2nd question - who typically writes the synopsis for a book. Is that the publisher's marketing/pr department?
