Hello everyone! I have some incredible news to share with all of you, news that has put me almost literally over the moon. I could honestly hug all of you for loving Archer and Willow's story from start to finish, but you know, distance and Covid and all.
Anyway, here it goes:
I'm getting published again!
I feel like this is an even greater success than my first published book. It's not just a fluke, you guys, I can actually write, how incredible is that?
A big thank you to all of you for making this possible!
Thank you for joining me on the rollercoaster/feels ride that is First Queen. I love writing so much, and I'm so grateful that I have friends like you with whom I can share it with.
As a token of my gratitude—and because you guys are the best and, therefore, deserve the best—I will be giving away never-before-seen content! Some of you made suggestions in the comments about what else you would like to see and I listened (well, read).
The book is going to be published on July 29, 2020 EST. I'm still here on Wattpad, but for copyright reasons, my publisher asked me to take down the last few chapters before publishing.
They are also setting up a website for me. On this site, you can participate in a book cover contest for First Queen. 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 in print on the book itself and on its cover!
You? A book cover artist? Imagine that!
The following are the things you need to know before joining the contest:
• Send the covers to my agent at on or before July 15, 2020.
• Know that if we choose your cover, you will get credit on the physical cover and inside the book. 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.
• You cannot use any copyrighted images. You can 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-res, in JPG and PSD (Photoshop) format so that 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 "First Queen" and the author's name "K.M. Carnoky"
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.
• Use a maximum of two fonts.
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!
