Three Digit Thinking

Yesterday Brain Jar Press released the sixth Writer Chap, Headstrong Girl, from the powerhouse of Australian genre, Kim Wilkins (aka Kimberly Freeman). It brings a close to season one, which was a test case for what seemed like an improbable and weird idea back in the middle of 20202. But this isn’t a pitch for the new Writer Chap, or even the Season One subscription/bundle that gets you all six at a discount. It’s a post where I talk about my favourite bit of cover design going up on the top left corner of every Writer Chap. I chose a very specific numbering convention, three digits for every book even though the first two are 00.
