The answer

It is permissible to publish the picture if it does not show what is unlawful for men to see; otherwise, it is not. The preponderant opinion is that a woman's face is 'awrah (private, to be covered) and must be covered.

It is better to suffice with writing a biography on the cover without including personal photos. There is no harm in gaining fame.
