Why Test Your Book Cover?

Your cover is a sales tool first, art second. The data is clear.

Real Genre Readers

79% of readers say covers influence their purchase decision. You need feedback from readers who actually buy in your genre—not your writing group.

Data Over Gut Instinct

The wrong cover can cost you 50%+ of potential sales. Even professional designers get it wrong without reader data—design instinct isn't the same as buyer behavior.

Fast Enough to Act On

Traditional focus groups take weeks and cost thousands. Our platform delivers actionable results in hours, before your launch deadline.

Multiple cover designs (A/B/C/D testing)
Color palette variations
Font and title treatment options
Illustration vs. photography
Full covers vs. thumbnail versions
Kindle/Amazon mockup presentations

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do results take?

Most tests are completed within 24 hours. Quick polls (15 readers) often finish in just a few hours.
