Inside the Unconventional Journey Behind Bonny Reichert's How to Share An Egg: A Candid Interview

cover of How to Share an Egg: A True Story of Hunger, Love, and Plenty by Bonny Reichert; cover looks like a colored-in with marker aqua-blue background with a marker-drawn egg, sliced in half so you can see the yolk

Amy: And I love your cover. Thank you. Is there anything about the cover design to discuss? Were there multiple versions? Did you have a vision?

Bonny: There is something to discuss for writers, because all of it: the cover, the title, the subtitle, were all my original ideas. Oh, and they were all in my proposal. The cover art was art that I picked. I knew this artist. She’s a French illustrator in Paris. I knew her work, and I put a couple of pieces in my proposal. This was one of the pieces. And when they went to do the cover, they showed me a lot of options, but this was one of them, and everybody agreed that this was the best one.
