How many times have you walked into a bookstore and picked up a book by an author you’ve never heard of simply because the cover caught your eye? I know I have. I run my eyes along the spines on the shelves and a vibrant color or bold font for the title will often catch my eye, getting me to lift that book off the shelf and check it out. So in recognition of the cover artists who do such a fabulous job we have…da…da…da…dum…The New Covey Awards!
The NEW Covey Awards recognizes the importance of Covers in the book purchasing decision. Every month we award two covers with the coveted NEW Covey Award, one for Most Eye-Catching Cover and one for Most Relevant Cover.
For those of you who are authors, go enter your covers. You never know, yours might be the winner. And for readers, stop by and find out who you can participate in the voting. Hint. Hint. Dark Waters will be in the running. 
UPDATE:Our cover and blurb are up on the New Covey Awards blogsite. So head on over and see how beautiful we look!

I love contests – this is a good one. Wish I had a cover for you, but I’ll enjoy seeing all the entrants, anyway.

Good luck with your cover — hope someday I’ll be submitting one too!
