I'm trying something new with my rejected cover giveaways this year. Instead of posting them all at once and letting you guys go through them like pigs at a trough, I'm posting one at a time and talking about it a bit.
And I admit it, I like this cover. I like the play of light. I like the lone tree at the end.
I like that it's a bit mysterious but not scary.
But it wasn't right for the author.
What story would it work for? The cover has a bit of mystery and with a little tweaking could be a fantasy or murder/mystery cover. If I switched out the tree for something else, you could also do it as a coming of age or finding yourself book cover.
How do you get it for free for your book?
So this rejected cover is available to some writer out there. :) If you want it, you have to let me know by email so I can put your author name/title on it. My email is on my description on the right.
Restrictions: It has to be a project you are publishing (electronically or print) in the next 6 months. For print projects, please let me know so I can flatten the image for you so it prints pretty. :)
So is the tunnel cover right for you?
:)
Oh just FYI--all covers are provided in 300 DPI 6x9 size.

I love the greens and golds of this cover. Someone is going to be very lucky to win this!
ReplyDeleteI like your new approach, Tirz. You know, I think my glasses need changing. I wondered 'what tree at the end' but when I look again, I realized the doorway was NOT a someone in a white cassock. Yeah, I need help. :)
ReplyDeleteI have dozens upon dozens of rejected covers. I can only hope someone takes some more of them this year.

I think it's pretty cool, and yeah, it has that great mystery to it with a tunnel leading to only God knows where. Nice! Thanks for stopping by the Sisterhood and best of luck on the Campaign trail!
ReplyDeleteHI Mary Mary!! It was nice to visit, I'll try to drop in again. :)

Hi Tirzah! :) Very cool book cover! It's nice to meet you!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI'm not working on a project, so I can't enter...butI wanted to tell you I like this cover too. I agree with another comment about the colors in the tunnel...green/gold. I like it. I like the tree outside the tunnel. It looks like it is winter out there. Like a white sky and no leaves on the tree. I see this as a cover for a YA Novel of someone out finding their own adventures. Maybe this tunnel is their secret place.
I love the WHATEVERS in your blog header - so funny! Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting! I'm a fellow campaigner in the Women's Fiction/Chicklit group. My first book is Women's Fiction - maybe, I don't know - I'm having extreme trouble figuring out just where it belongs! Why didn't I write my first book in an exact genre!
ReplyDeleteIt's so great to meet you!
Oh genres are fun---My current book is a dark comedy/sort of chick lit but not really/adventure novel.
ReplyDeleteSort of.
:)

I have so many of these covers sitting out there, unused. :) Check back in six months if you have a project for YA then, this tunnel cover may still be available. I have a snow one that's been floating around for 3 years.
