So, my experience has been nothing like Hitch describes. I am not saying he is wrong, his experience is just as valid as mine. I can post likes to dozens of posts by successful authors on who does their cover art. I have read blogs from successful authors describing how they succeeded. I am currently following a thread on another forum where authors are posting where they advertise and what success/failure they have had at each place. Most of my advice that I give out here has come from reading and talking with successful authors.
So, based the people I have talked with, I have found authors to be far more open and helpful them most other professions.
