Do You Choose the Book Covers?

Question:

Hi Mrs. Naylor, I just finished reading Intensely Alice, And I loved it! I was wondering are you writing anymore Alice books or is this the last one? If you are when is it coming out? I love your Alice books so much, I was able to read all 21 of them in 2 months. Seeing that you can’t write Alice books forever, I think you should atleast write them till Alice gets married and has kids. (And Lester to!) I was also wondering who do you choose to be on your book covers? And how does all of that work out? Do you take the pictures yourself and put them

on the cover? I think it would be really neat if I was able to e-mail the girl thats on all of the book covers. I would love to hear back from you!

Intensely Alice is the latest, but not the last, of the Alice series. The very last book, “Always Alice,” will be published in 2013, and will take Alice from age 18 to age 60, touching the highpoints of her life. I’m amazed that you read 21 books in 2 months. There are actually 25 in print, so you still have some reading to do. I don’t take the cover photos and don’t know the names of the models who posed. The publisher hires the models, but I get to pass on which ones we use.
