Title: Cover Art!
Post by: LizW65 on July 09, 2008, 05:00:20 PM
Dunno if this is the right place to post this, but you can click here:
http://www.covercafe.com/contest/2007/intro-res07.html
to see the winners of the year's best in cover art in different genres.  And be sure to go to the last page for the very worst!  They're ROFL, shoot-liquids-out-the-nose funny.

I thought the winning titles were also rather funny, but maybe I'm just from the wrong section on literature to judge it  ;D

From what I read on Amazon, this actually sounds like fairly routine chick lit/erotica.  Come on, there's NO way any book could possibly live up to this title, now, is there? :D

In addition to a great guy and snappy dresser, I'm a photoshop ninja.  That one with the little girl holding the blue foam hand made milk come out my nose...

...which is disturbing.  I haven't had a glass of milk in years...

Anyone think it might be interesting to hold an informal contest to come up with actual stories for these covers?

I know they're actually books, but when I think about what some of these covers make me think of, I'm betting we'd get some, um, unique entries!

I forwarded that link to some of my author pals.  I can't reveal their names, but you've probably heard of a lot of them.  They proceeded to flood my inbox with title suggestions for a sequel to Big Spankable Asses. It was highly inappropriate.  :o
