Hey there excited people!

Are you as excited as I am with the book getting published? Because I'm still freaking out! Third book! Oh my gosh!

And now for the good stuff: YOU CAN NOW START SUBMITTING COVERS FOR THE COVER POLL! *insert fist bump here*

That's right! You can submit a cover entry that could become the official cover of MDA when it finally hits the stores! Your name will be in the book, and on the back of its physical cover. See, your name on the cover of the book. You will be famous! You guys know the gist by now ;)

Here are the guidelines:

Make it awesome. Be awesome. Simple enough? Yeah, thought so!

Seriously though:

Just send the covers to me atviolet_samuels@awesomeauthors.org by April 10. The only requirements are:

Book Cover Guidelines

1. Know that if we choose your cover you will get credit ON the physical cover and inside the book. This can actually help you a lot as a graphic artist and bring you future work from us and other book publishers.

2. You will have to fill out a form that lets us have the cover.

3. You can not use any copyright images. You can use Royalty Free Images.

4. We need a high res format of the cover in JPG and Photoshop format, as well so that we can use it for the paperback version of the book.

5. Cover Image size should be 5.5 by 8.5 inches in 300 Pixels per inch resolution.

6. Hints....

• The cover has to look good when Amazon Thumbnail size. The idea is that people WANT to click on it when they see the thumb nail.

• The text needs to be readable.

• You should use only 1 font.

• The cover needs the title AND the authors name

• It should be the same theme as the other two books

7. The cover needs to have the Title and the Authors Name visible.

8. If your covers wins we will do everything we can to use it. If it wins we will WANT to use it because that will give us the most future sales. BUT... You do 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 for some reason or we might find a copyrighted image in the cover design.

9. Submit your created cover on or before April 10.

10. Also, my author name is Violet Samuels, so that needs to be right in the cover.

I will be giving you updates as it all happens. Now most of the time when people give updates on how a project is going (like getting a book published), they are really boring. BUT I WILL DO BETTER! You can be guaranteed to be highly amused on every update!

So stay tuned for more updates! I'll see you in the next post :)

Love ya
Violet
