Why Comfortably Uncomfortable? Comfortably Uncomfortable was born out of a lifelong desire to write and publish a book. Up until a year ago, I struggled focusing on a topic and wasn’t confident others would want to hear what I had to say. My husband’s continual...
Punctuation Punctuation is a universal struggle for writers. Fiction. Nonfiction. Social media. Business. Academics. Across the board, professionals who write, students learning to write, and authors of books and academic papers all struggle with punctuation. Contrary...
Understanding Planning You’ve likely heard that “failing to plan is planning to fail.” This well-known saying presents an either/or scenario: either spend tine planning or head toward failure. I think it’s more nuanced than that. Yes, lack of planning is often a root...
My first choice is #3. Second choice is #1.
Thank you.
I like #2 best, but I think you could create a stronger option still. I’m not sure I understand the meaning of the sun-like orb in the other ones. I recommend looking at the covers of successful books in your niche and emulating them in some way.
Thank you for the advice. I hope to find someone to do artwork for me. I am doing the best I can until that happens.
I like #3 the best, but non of them really give me a good idea for what the book is about.
Thank you for the input, Anne. I hope to find someone to do the artwork for me. This is the best I could come up with for now.
Number 3! I love the title, it draws you in and the high contrast cover really catches the eye. A little more contrast in the circle would really sell that sense of duality and balance. You’re title however is a winner! Short, punchy, eye catching. It leads to the obvious question ‘comfortably uncomfortable about what?’ and your subtitle gives just enough. It’s a self help book about small not overwhelming steps that you can take to achieve big change. Exactly enough to make me read the full description. Well done! Best of luck with the book!
Thank you for the detailed feedback, Michael. Very helpful to hear your thought process.

Visually #3 would encourage me to pick it up and read the intro to learn more about your premise.
#1 is nice but feels like a therapy book cover ( to me)
Thank you for the feedback and for voting.
I like NO. 1 the best. My grandson does my covers and may be interested if your are.
I’d be interested in talking to him, Carol. Thank you.
Number one is like a Therapy book that’s super loving and chill and calming
Number two makes me like it’s an instructional book just very plain one two three do these steps the end
Number three makes me feel like it’s a self-help challenge like a how you can pick yourself up by your bootstraps one ounce at a time one minute at a time
😁
I love how you describe the feelings you got from each one, Cassie. Very helpful!
