Redesign A Book Cover Blogfest Contest ... win a prize from CA Marshall
The fabulous Cassandra Marshall, agent intern/freelance editor/writer/cover art creator has agreed, yet again, to hold another contest on my blog. Yes, she loves me that much! This one is so fun, I'm actually giddy about it. We're always working on our pitches and pages that we seldom take the time to think beyond the manuscript. So this one is all about book covers. You heard me right ... book covers.

This is a launch party!
Cassandra has added another wonderful service to her blog here. She's offering Cover Art Creations at such great prices. Check it out and don't forget to take a look at her editing services. They're well worth the won't-break-your-piggy-bank cost.
How does it work, you ask?
Well, simply redesign a book cover of any book you like. You can even design one for your own manuscript. Use anything like Word, Paint Shop, a photograph, clip art ... or whatever gets the job done (see my poor attempt at creating one above). It can be funny, serious, or just, I don't know, funny. Sign up on the linky below, post it to your blog on Friday, June 17, hop to all the participating blogs, and have fun. A panel of secret judges will go to each blog and pick the top ten. On Tuesday, they'll be displayed on my blog for you all to vote on. Simple.
Please note: You must include a link to every image you use in your post if you do not own the image.
With any contest there are prizes (well, on my blog there are always prizes).
The winner will receive a professional cover art design by CA Marshall. Check out her new Cover Art Creation service here: CA Marshall Services. It can be used for many things, like relaunching a book, self-publishing, and if you're not quite there yet, to put on your blog to showcase your fantabulous story. Two runner ups will receive a surprise prize (yeah, it's a tongue tangle).
Here's a sampling of Cassandra's beautiful work *sigh*.
What are you waiting for?

Love the contest, Brenda! Cass' work is beautiful! Now, I have to decide what to do! Getting my creative juices going again! Yay!! & I like your cover! :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous work Cass! And B - another fantastic contest!
ReplyDeleteSounds like so much fun! And also probably an example of why I'm up at 2:00 a.m. trying to get work done...I like to do all this fun stuff when I should be working! ;)
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, I am ALL over this contest. Can't wait. Tough choice to find just the right cover to redesign though.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, Cassandra, the cover for Rain is particularly wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI loved your cover!
ReplyDeleteI posted the link to the contest on my blog. I hope you don't mind but I used your book cover as an image, it's what drew me in to read about the blogfest!
ReplyDeleteThanks guys! Best of luck to you all! <3
ReplyDeleteThis might be my favorite contest ever. ^^)
ReplyDeleteI love book covers.
This sounds like fun! Book covers are one of my favorite forms of art.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, Brenda! And thanks to Cass for the wonderful prize.
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to hop around next Friday.
I have this posted on my blogfest page!
ReplyDeleteThanks, all, for signing up. I can't wait to see what you come up with. I'm sure it's going to be awesome! :D
ReplyDeleteWow - I can barely imagine my books published, let alone their covers. Good luck, all!!
ReplyDeleteerica
Great cover art and the contest sounds super fun!
ReplyDeleteWow - Cassandra's covers are beautiful!! Congrats to her and whoever the lucky winner is. :D
ReplyDeleteSounds cool! Although the signup thingy really doesn't like me... if I signed up more than once or something, SORRY!
ReplyDeleteIf you have problems signing up on the linky, please let me know, and I can add your link. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYour Grapes of Wrath is hilarious!!! So adorable - I love it. I think you did a fantastic job ~ :) What a fun blogfest. I'm not sure I can get one together by Friday, but I'll be back to check out the other entrants for sure. Good luck to all!
ReplyDeleteHAH! it worked!! I'm in I'm in!!
ReplyDeleteSeems a little counter-productive. The one who creates the best cover gets a cover? I'd enter but I'm hoping I won't have to go the self-publish route.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun art project! I think I'm ready? Haha!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in. It's all about being creative and having fun. I can't wait to see all the entries! :D
ReplyDeleteI found an awesome book cover tutorial, after I made mine. :)
ReplyDeleteaha whoaaa thanks for the awesome opportunity! (:
ReplyDeleteHI Brenda,
ReplyDeleteI just posted my cover.... Sorry it took so long. I hope you like it.... Enjoy the rest of your weekend...

Darn, missed this! And I had a cover ready as well! Ah well, I'm enjoying looking through everyone's covers! :)
ReplyDeleteMy sister and I enjoyed your cover and we felt trying the same thing w/ a few pieces of grapes just to try it for ourselves. :p
ReplyDeleteI'm looking at the covers of the ones who have joined so far and now I am inspired to try and make one.
Awesome contest, I only just found it and posted mine but thank you so much for organising this, I had a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun blogfest. Love the grapes.
