Three days ago, I finished writing The Masterpiecers, a Young Adult / New Adult contemporary fiction. It’s much darker than Ghostboy, and so very twisted, think Girl, Interrupted meets The Voice. Strange mix, don’t you think? The idea came to me one day while I was on the phone with my older sister. She mentioned an art competition that a museum organizes each year during which contestants must find a certain painting. I took her idea to the next level and created THE art competition: a week-long televised games during which contestants aren’t allowed any contact with the outside world. The victor’s prize is entry into the most prestigious art school in the Unites States.
Here is the blurb:
Nineteen-year-old identical twins, Aster and Ivy, find themselves locked up: one in an Indianapolis prison for a crime she claims was self-defense, and the other in the Metropolitan Museum to compete in a televised art competition. With no way of communicating, they begin to learn secrets about one another through the media frenzy surrounding them, secrets that threaten to shatter their unbreakable bond.
As I start on the editing (check out my editing recipe for lots of tips), I am launching a cover design contest with a 200$ reward for the person who can come up with the final design.
However, I do believe everyone should be a winner, so for every designer contributing to my cover contest, you will receive an advanced, autographed copy of my book and an extra little gift!
To inspire you, here are a few covers that I love:
I would also suggest browsing my Pinterest page, Covered, dedicated to (you guessed it!) my favorite book covers.
If you’re interested and skilled, please contact me directly, either in the comments section of this post or in a private email and I will tell you more about the story and what I have in mind. You may use images (with their licenses) or create something from scratch.
Good luck to all!
