Creating the cover for Maestro and Tidldibab was a journey through global design laws, bestseller trends, and lessons learned from twenty designers. From failed concepts to discovering Žiga Korent — a rare blend of creativity, vision, and precision — the final minimalist cover, rooted in the Japanese concept of “ma,” emerged as the unanimous favorite among readers.

Writing Without a Safety Net reveals the creative process behind Maestro and Tidldibab — from a childhood shaped by books and sound to a life lived through languages, cultures, and metaphysical traditions. With strong discipline, writing at night, and choosing to craft the novel without a safety net, the author shows how a story made of many lives comes into being.
