If I were an author....











CREATE YOUR DEBUT YA COVER

1 – Go to “Fake Name Generator” or click http://www.fakenamegenerator.com/

The name that appears is your author name.

2 – Go to “Random Word Generator” or click http://www.websitestyle.com/parser/randomword.shtml

The word listed under “Random Verb” is your title.

3 – Go to “FlickrCC” or click http://flickrcc.bluemountains.net/index.php

Type your title into the search box. The first photo that contains a person is your cover.

4 – Use Photoshop, Picnik, or similar to put it all together. Be sure to crop and/or zoom in.

5 – Post it to your site along with this text.

My cover was kind of hard. I had to find a way to place the name so that it wouldn't be that hard to see. But I think it works rather well :)

I got this idea from Amanda who go it from Melissa at Book Nut for the diversion!

I can't wait to see how everyone else's book covers come out!

  1. Ooh, you're right, that IS hard for placement. You did good, though. I like the title and picture together.

  2. Thanks :)

    I was secretly trying to cheat and find an easier verb/picture but in the end I stayed with my 1st one.

  3. Oh, you got a much better author name than I did. I like the composition. The debut of 'Crumple' is posted here

  4. This is so beautiful of a picture, though. Really lovely, and the word "Return" -- like someone wishing on a star or something, hoping ...for someone to return.

    It could work!

  5. I see it now! It's like the girl is wishing for whomever or whatever to return. Have you done one yet Tanita?
