Get Your Motor Running!

Our June break is almost over... wah ! 

We have had a busy time on our hiatus. Sonoran Dawn has more offerings to rotate now on our website. We have new and exciting book cover art. We have some new poetry. We have several researched topics from our gazette. 


Things are looking diverse! 

Next Saturday Sonoran Dawn will begin exhibiting the different sides of our products and services. We will still be updating the site to maintain that focus, but what is a little elbow grease in the grand scheme of things?

It is summer after all.


And, what is summer without a hard day of play and a dip in the pool?!

Have a really weird day!

Updated Book Cover Art

During our time off, Sonoran Dawn has been busy in the background creating and publishing new Covers for Books, Novels. 

So swing by our section and view the forty-four examples we have, including view some that have already been sold on our Cover Art Portfolio page. 

July is around the corner and we will return to do more. Our site is being updated at the moment and will be fine tuned as we head toward autumn. 

Have a really weird day!

Book Cover Art is What Gets You Noticed

Every artist, author, and publishing house must decide on what type of covert art would be best for an upcoming release. 

Large font? Small font? Bright colors? Splashes of color? 

What should a book cover say about you? 

Readers are inundated with flashy and artsy covers in the lines and lines of books on bookstore shelves. A book cover does not have to be fancy, but it has to make an impression. That cover not only reflects what is written inside but about the author his or her self.  

So as you look for or even create a book you may want to ponder how your final cover will attract readers to you.

The Wheels are Turning

Publishing is a strange career choice for a writer, but also a natural one. 

Authors are so programmed into believing that we need outside validation for our work. So we hungrily climb into the hamster wheel of publishing. We jump the hoops in hopes of one day getting a publishing contract. 

With on demand services, writers are no longer slaves to the wheel. We can publish ourselves. The task of learning front matter, back matter, copyright law, and book cover art may look daunting at first but in time any writer can create a simple, yet professional book. 

Electronic books are the easiest. PDFs are simpler still.  Print books need a little extra knowledge but not by much. 

Some writers cannot juggle all the ins and outs of publishing. That is why Sonoran Dawn Studios was formed. Writers can have their own publishing career without having to pay to play. Yes, some services and fees are necessary but writers need to watch out for vanity publishing. 

It is a fine line and with some research writers will know where not to cross and get trapped into the wheel of vanity presses. 

Right now, Sonoran Dawn Studios is getting its training wheels tested. Soon other authors will make their way into our ranks. 

Have a book or author you would like to see Sonoran Dawn Studios publish? 

Have a really weird day!
