A clinch, if you’re unfamiliar, is the type of romance novel cover where the couple is embracing, seemingly in flagrante delicto. Gowns are hiked up, cravats are discarded, and hair billows from some unseen force. For this special episode, I got to interview Sharon Spiak, a former romance cover illustrator who currently costumes and styles photoshoots, and Shirley Green, a photographer who has shot many of your favorite book covers over the past few decades. Join us to find out what, exactly, goes into the making of a clinch cover.
You can find excerpts from this interview, with accompanying imagery, on The Loose Cravat.
Sharon Spiak has prints of her oil paintings for sale, and they’re stunning. You can find them here.
You can find Shirley Green on her website, and follow her Pomeranian Rocky on Instagram.
