Free-Wrench Cover Vote!
Well, I was going to hold this back until closer to the (still unscheduled) release date of the book, but then I remembered I have no patience and there’s no one to tell me what to do. Today I got back the cover of Free-Wrench, the NaNoWriMo project I wrapped up last month and will be sending to the editor in mere minutes. Nick did his usual spectacular job, but he threw me a curve ball by including two options for the title layout. Never one to pass up a chance to democratize the creation of my books, I’m going to ask you folks to weigh in. Which do you like better?

Version 1: One Line

Version 2: Two Line
Give me a comment or an email to share your thoughts!
I like the one line title because it makes the hyphen unambiguous. With the two line version, my mind keeps fixating on the possibility that, on a single line, the hyphen would not be there (even though I know that’s not the case).
I like both of them, but I prefer the one line title because it doesn’t make the hyphen look out of place, and the fact that it’s BEHIND the zeppelin makes it look kinda cool. But to be fully honest, I don’t really like the title because of the hyphen. In my opinion, I would prefer no hyphen or a different title. I don’t really know what the book is about, it could be about a mercenary mechanic or summat, but Free Wrench or FreeWrench or maybe Freewrench sounds better in my mind
I like the close-up-and-personal of the top view. I don’t mind the hyphen, but definitely want the title on one line.
Both great covers but i have to go with the first one. I find i like the title on a single line better and the way it appears partly behind the zeppelin is pretty neat.
I agree that the fact that title goes behind the foreground was pretty neat, but it seems most fans preferred the two lines.
The second one, two lines. that’s the one to pick.
The majority of the people I’ve asked agree with you. It’ll be the two line one. Unless I end up changing the title.
I prefer the 1 line version.
The first, 1 line version!
I guess I got 2 votes. I didn’t notice the first actually went!
Heh, no problem. It turns out, while I actually was a fan of the one line version too, the two line version jumped out to a pretty big lead right away. That’s going to be the final cover. Thanks for the vote, though!
All these votes you show say the single line version, but you say most like the other smaller 2 line version. Huh?
Yep, there was a parallel poll over on the Facebook Fan Page, as well as some emails and tweets.
Like the 2 line by far.
