Ohhh, the big secret. What will the next cover from your favorite author look like?
I have always shown the cover way before the book is released. I don’t think readers would wait by their screens, looking at the countdown clock to be the first to see a cover.
Many of my readers get a chance to share their opinion on a book cover, so that cat is out of the bag. BTW, it’s more fun to watch a cat going into a bag, then trying to get comfortable. Any one can get out of a bag.
I think releasing a book trailer is more effective in building excitement and buzz.

I do enjoy a cover reveal–the art that goes with a story is part of the joy of the process for me (both as a reader and a writer). @samanthabwriter from

Yes, I think a trailer would have more clout than a cover.

I love the idea of putting the cat into the bag! (I’ve done that once or twice.)
