COVER THE WORDS CONTEST or Putting Your Best Face Forward

I'm a member of Yellow Rose Romance Writers, a local chapter of Romance Writers of America. We are hosting a book cover contest this year called, COVER THE WORDS. We hear all the time how the cover sells the book. The cover draws the reader in so they'll take the time to read the blurb or sample, to buy our book. I hate to say it, but I agree. I'd like to think my words are so powerful the readers are pulled into the page to get lost until they surface at "The End" an emotional wreck. Unfortunately that's not true. Some covers are so bad I don't even stop to read the title. 

Some of us have boat loads of talent and great software to create our own covers and then others, like myself , must seek out a designer to help us get our words in the readers hands. It takes time to find the right background, the perfect couple, the right colors . . . the process is daunting.

So, in the spirit of getting those covers discovered, we're offering a way to get them in front of our readers and our peers to see how our covers compare to others in our same genre. Does your cover have the magic to rise to the top?
