Excerpts allow readers to read sections of books that an author enjoyed writing, or a reader has mentioned that they loved a scene. They can also be used as an essential tool to show importance of specific sections and show the writing style of the author.

Artwork by: Rebecca Romphf

​Though this is not an excerpt, it is a beautiful piece of art that I want to share! Rebecca took my horrible sketch and created exactly what I was imagining for my cover.
