Book Cover Contest June 2-9
Hello everyone! Welcome to our first friendly Book Cover Contest!
Thank you, authors, for submitting so many amazing book covers, and thank you, readers, for voting for the best covers.
The Author Gang members: Erika, Grace, Mary Anne, Joe, Ruth, Toi, Chris, Lorraine, Nicola, and Rebecca. Click on our pages on the menu bar and read about us.
Grace volunteered to host the Cover Contest submission on her Facebook page, and Erika, our designer (Okay, they call me boss, but I'm not bossy at all. Right guys?), organized the event. At the Author Gang, everything is done as a group, and our motto is:
"All for one and one for all." Yeah, we stole it from the Musketeers, but it really fits our group and group work.
The voting begins today, June 2nd.
On Saturday, June 9th, one winner of each main genre (nine winners) will receive a beautiful "Best Book Cover Award" badge that may be added to your cover, and the books will be in the spotlight on our blog for one week.
(We combined fiction and non-fiction into one group because only one non-fiction book was entered)
VOTING RULES:
Comment on this post with the TITLE & GENRE of the book you like most and tell us what you like about the cover.
If you like more than one cover, vote for each book separately.
Your vote will be disqualified if you add more than ONE book title per comment.
Authors voting for their own book is unethical.
NAME OUR MASCOT:
This handsome fella is our Author Gang's virtual mascot of the cover contest. We can't decide on a name for him, so we call him
Stopthat or
Dontchewthat because he just has that kind of eager to please, goofy face.
Give our mascot a fitting name and win a prize.
In comments write NEW NAME and add the name you choose for our mascot.
The Author Gang will vote for the best name and one winner gets a prize:
If you're an author, Erika will design a GIF for your books, similar to the ones on the sidebar for the Author Gang authors.
If you're a reader, your favorite author will get the GIF for their books.
FICTION & NON-FICTION
Because only one non-fiction book entered (the 12th book in this category) it would surely be a winner having no competition. Therefore, votes for the non-fiction book will be counted with the fiction books.

Thank you authors for submitting so many amazing book covers, and thank you readers for voting for the best covers. It's been a great contest and the Author Gang is excited to count the votes and announce the winners.
Good luck everyone!
So many great covers, good luck to the contestants!
So exciting, but Fiction (was listed originally as General Fiction) and Non Fiction are lumped together? It's a little confusing. And I'd think the covers would be strikingly different?
Susan There was only one non-fiction book entered so there is no competition. Therefore, the votes for the non-fiction book will be counted with the fiction books. I think the word Fiction covers general fiction :) When covers are not entered in even numbers to each genre, we have to improvise to be fair
That makes sense but the page lists fiction with nothing under it, then
nonfiction with several books listed below it. Perhaps if you listed it as
Fiction and Non Fiction it would work better.
I don't actually recall non fiction being listed as a choice?
Paranormal: Deathly Darkness by Victoria Zak
Love this cover-the colors stand out so much.
Division: Sci-Fi Books: Intense, thrilling, action-packed.
Nine Lives: Sci-Fi Books. Sinister, riveting.
