I truly believe in the power
of Thank You.
I consider thank you’s a valuable resource
like time or money
except thank you’s are unlimited.
A simple thank you
will take you far.
It will immediately distinguish you
from the silent masses.
A thoughtful thank you
is one of the most powerful things
on the planet.
A thoughtful thank you
is specific.
Instead of saying
“That cover rocked.
Thank you.”
Consider saying
“I loved how the color of the heroine’s dress
tied into the title’s font color.
Thank you for creating my cover.”
A thoughtful thank you speaks
in the language of the recipient.
When I thank a cover artist,
I’ll talk composition and tone
and I’ll often reference famous works of art.
A thoughtful thank you
shows how the person’s act/product
ties into the greater good.
I always mention how important
a cover is for sales.
When you’re rushed for time,
of course,
send the simple thank you.
When time and effort warrants it,
consider sending a more detailed thank you.
