What makes a great book cover? Adrian and Rebecca speak to Jem Butcher, one of the UK's leading cover designers and creator of six designs for Hobeck books to date. Jem talks about why he made the switch from being art director of Simon and Schuster UK to go freelance thirteen years ago, and why he never tires of the challenge of designing superb covers. Adrian and Rebecca also discuss the potential return of live event literary festivals this summer, Hillary Clinton's foray into thriller writing, and how depression can derail the creative process.
