Hi guys! Some things you might want to know. I honestly hope you're having a nice day, and I have some awesome news to share with you.
Here goes:
The Ugly Duckling is getting published!
A big thank you to all of you for making this possible!
Thank you to everyone who joined me on this rollercoaster ride that is The Ugly Duckling. I'm grateful to have all of you with whom I can share the meanderings of my mind.
As a token of my gratitude, I will be giving away some exclusive content soon!
The will be live on Amazon on August 30, 2023EST.
Although this file is still here on Inkitt, for copyright reasons, my publisher has asked me to take down some of the chapters before publishing.
On my author page for The Ugly Duckling, you can participate in a book cover contest.
You can create and submit the cover you've always wanted and imagined for the story. And who knows? Maybe you'll be the lucky one to have his/her name on the book cover!
What you need to know before joining the contest:
• Send the cover to my agent (Nash) atftwagent@gmail.com on or before August 21, 2023.
• If we choose your cover, you will get credit on the physical cover. If you're an aspiring graphic artist, this can be a good addition to your portfolio and might bring you future work from us and other book publishers.
• If your cover wins, you will have to fill out a form that lets us have the cover.
• The use of copyrighted images is NOT allowed. Please use royalty-free images.
• If your cover wins, we will do everything we can to use it. However, you need to know that there can be odd reasons why we might not be able to. For example, we might not be able to use the Photoshop file because of an error, or we might find a copyrighted image in the cover design.
The cover must meet the following requirements:
• High resolution in JPG and PSD (Photoshop) format so we can use it for the paperback version of the book
• 5.5 in x 8.5 in and 300 DPI (pixels per inch)
• Must have the book title"The Ugly Duckling" and the author's name"Cristal Sieberhagen"
Some tips:
• The cover has to look good in Amazon thumbnail size. Attract possible readers; make them want to click on it.
• The text needs to be readable.
• Maximum use of two fonts only.
By the way, this is not mandatory. I'm only giving you guys the chance to get involved in the book launch because I couldn't have gotten here without you. I can't thank you all enough!
Please stay tuned for more updates. I'll see you in the next post!
