Accompanying your audiobook will be the book cover, which is similar to the album artwork. It's possible that the artwork will be the same art featured on the cover of the book, however, you may run into some licensing fees if you choose to do so. The alternative is to have an image designed and laid out for you by an artist or graphic designer.

The audiobook cover is your primary graphical promotional tool and is a vital component for visually enticing potential listeners to preview your audiobook and then to proceed and make the purchase.

The artwork can also be used in marketing efforts on your website, blog or Facebook Fan Page. You should also consider issuing a press release that includes the audiobook cover.
