The image on its own is really beautiful, but somehow I think superimposing that text has an alchemical effect that takes the cover to a whole new level. My favorite things about this design are (1) the way it communicates a science fiction feel (2) the different textures between both cities, which play into the roles those cities play in the story and (3) the text treatment of the title. What is your favorite part about this design? I wish I could send flowers to everyone involved! All of us wanted to reach the absolute best image possible for this book, and I think the designer rose to that challenge and then some. We went through many options, and Jen Klonsky and the whole Harper team were wonderful about listening and responding to my thoughts throughout the whole process. But that’s not an easy concept to express visually.

This was a tough cover to nail! (This is why the ARCs have no cover image.) We needed a design that would communicate the idea of “different worlds” - after all, A THOUSAND PIECES OF YOU is about a girl chasing her father’s killer through alternate dimensions. How involved were you in the cover design process? (Are there any fun facts or stories you can share?) (I plan to have some made for my signings later in the year!) Never, ever did I dream that this many people would connect to this image so powerfully. Right away people started showing me that they’d made it their phone screen, or their desktop wallpaper, and lots of people have asked for posters. It is AMAZING to see the incredible response to this cover. A Thousand Pieces of You explores a reality where we witness the countless other lives we might lead in an amazingly intricate multiverse, and ask whether, amid infinite possibilities, one love can endure.įirst of all, congrats on all of the amazingly positive feedback on the cover! How does it feel to know that people have already made this the background image on their phones? Gray how she feels about it.įirst of all, let’s take a moment to refresh our memories. The cover for A THOUSAND PIECES OF YOU by Claudia Gray has one of the most jaw-droppingly gorgeous designs we’ve ever seen so we decided to ask Ms.
