I know it can be hard to tell if you don't know what you're looking for, but >95% of covers/promo for romance books that is AI generated is female characters with a porn-star baby face. Vacant eyes a little too big, narrow chin, plastic skin, lips slightly parted. That should raise red flags.

Book cover for Queen of Thorns by Joel C. Flanagan-Grannemann.
Across the top is a banner announcing "Book Five of Servants of the Moon and Sun" in a clean silvery white font.
Against a deep red background with ominous dark thorny trees and fog, an armored knight dressed all in black and wearing a silver helm and breastplate rides a black horse, which is also armored at the head and body. The knight holds a crossbow loaded with a bright silver bolt in his right hand. The book's title is placed under the mounted knight in large silver letters in a fantasy font with thorn serifs. The author's name is centered below that over two lines in a smaller clean silvery white font.

A cartoon raccoon looks out from behind the cover and pink Raccoon footprints circle the cover.

A halfbody commission piece by letoyga.bsky.social featuring Morgan and Therion on a beach in Oratoa at sunset.

Morgan, a young man with purple eyes and near shoulder length ash blond hair, is backed up against a palm tree with a hand gripped on his boyfriend's shirt as he looks up at him. Pink swirls decorate his face like a mask around his eyes and his hand, a sign that he is probably very excited by the situation he's in that his mutation is behaving uncontrolled.

Therion, a tall, very thin man with green eyes and golden blond hair tied up in a messy bun, stands over him with one arm resting above Morgan's head against the tree and the other grasping Morgan's chin as he leans in for a smooch.

A good editor helps you make the most out of your piece. A great editor makes you more of yourself than you were.

Sure, bad feedback stinks. Sometimes it's something you don't want to hear. And sometimes the editor is wrong!

But I treasure a good editor.

Art by Luigiix - cover of "Demon King Daughter Book 1: Raising the Demon King" by P.J.C. Cahill. This text appears in black, red-outlined text at the bottom of the image.
- Top Left is an aged human man with silver hair, a long beard and mustache, and stern features. Top Right is a demon man with long, black hair, tall, thin horns, red-in-black, slitted eyes, and pale gray skin.
- Middle of the image shows seven characters. From left to right: 
1) Kiseki: short black hair, pale skin, brown eyes. Wears a gray sweater and black cargo pants.
2) Hasava: tall woman in a black business suit, with a white shirt and black tie. Her skin is pale, her hair long, black, and straight, and her eyes blue.
3) An adult man with tan skin, brown eyes, short, brown hair, and a scruffy beard. There's hints of graying in his hair. He wears a brown jacket, a pale T-shirt, and jeans.
4) A teenage girl in a mostly-white Japanese boy's school uniform (button-up jacket version). She has mildly tan skin, brown eyes, but vibrant green, neck-length hair.
5) an adult woman holding a young child. The adult has sky-blue, short hair, brown eyes, and is wearing a simple white T-shirt and blue pants.
6) a toddler in #5's arms. A little girl in a blue dress and shirt, with the same sky-blue hair as #5. She is laughing happily with her eyes closed.
7) an adult man in a dark dress shirt and black slacks. He is stern and muscular, with sharp features, short, brown hair with signs of gray, and brown eyes.
- Bottom, foreground of the image features a mother and daughter pair. The mother is holding the daughter on her hip, and they're both smiling happily at each other. The mother has neck-length, black hair, a tan skin, brown eyes, and is wearing a black leather jacket over a white shirt, with black pants. The daughter has very dark, brown skin, short, messy black hair, and vibrantly red eyes. She's wearing a black hoodie, baggy shorts, and puffy white socks sticking out of her simple sneakers.
