(Mind you, as covers for short stories, the cheap but professional option is probably a better path than the cheap but amateur alternative that I pulled for my current shorts - I don't think they are doing me any favours.)
And I definitely want to work with someone specific, I'm not really a crowd person. My problem being to narrow the choices down.
At the moment I'm mostly window shopping, getting an idea what's out there and what will be involved.

Oh! Well, I didn't actually expect that any decisions would be reached any time soon; I thought it was more of an "informational only" type of thread. ;-)
My problem with the group thing is the idea that it's okay to ask 20 or 30 or 50 people to do work for which they shan't be paid. Yes, of course, it's their choice, but it feels a bit exploitative to me.
