Well howdy there partner! How are all of my favourite people in the world doing?! This is Elle Brace here! (My new author name, wink wink! :D)

Hey, so I kind of have a super cool announcement to make to all of you.... Drumrollll...

Turns out I'm descended from space aliens! And they are targeting all of you! I'm so sorry! *Panics*

Ok now that I've gotten your attention.... ;)

I actually really do have some big news! But first of all on a personal note. I wanted to say, thank you for reading and going along with me on Adrian and Emily's journey. Writing is my absolute favorite thing to do. And I am so happy that you have been here reading it. You all rock!

So like has anyone had chocolate lately? I hope it made you as happy as I currently am! :D

Okay, onto the big news!

I'm getting published!

Yeah, you read right and I know, I can't believe it either. (I've asked my friend to pinch me to make sure that I'm not dreaming) (at which point she proceeded to slap me and telling me off because of how proud she is of me...). I've been writing since I was very small. And what is happening is a dream come true!

And it's literally all because of you guys (Helo favourite people ever omg!). I wish I could give you something... like, I don't know, a birthday cake. Or a unicorn... Or maybe my soul (kidding) But instead I've got something even better, (that's right you are going to run in circles like a gosh darn puppy!).

Because you guys are so awesome I will be giving away never before seen content! (no more boring nights without reading material for you!) I promise you, you wont regret seeing it. Wink wink... Or will you? See know you have to see it because you gotta know, don't you?! :D

Anyways before I get off on a rant.

The book is going to be published late THIS MONTH!

I'm obviously still going to be here on wattpad, but my publisher has asked me to take down the last few chapters before publishing for copyright issues. Sorry guys :(

And there are a few awesome things going on even before then (it's going to blows your socks... and feet off)!

My publisher (big shout out to BLVNP inc.). Is setting me up with a fancy website (very professional), and they are going to be holding a cover contest. [say: whhhaaaaaattt?].

Thats right! And you can submit a cover, to become the official cover of the published book. And your name will be put in the book, and on the back of the physical cover of the book! (Your name on the cover of the book. You will be famous! And hello, Adrian will totally love you forever for doing it!).

So here are the guidelines:

Just send the covers to me at elle_brace@awesomeauthors.org. The only requirements are:

Book Cover Guidelines

1. Know that if we choose your cover you will get credit ON the physical cover and inside the book. This can actually help you a lot as a graphic artist and bring you future work from us and other book publishers.

2. If your cover is accepted in the poll, you will have to fill out a form that allows us to use the cover.

3. You can not use any copyright images. Please use Royalty Free Images.

4. We need a high res format of the cover in JPG and Photoshop format, as well so that we can use it for the paperback version of the book.

5. Cover Image size should be 5.5 by 8.5 inches in 300 Pixels per inch resolution.

6. Hints....

The cover has to look good when Amazon Thumbnail size. The idea is that people WANT to click on it when they see the thumb nail.

The text needs to be readable.

You should use only 1 font.

The cover needs the title AND the authors name

7. The cover needs to have the Title and the Authors Name visible.

8. If your covers wins we will do everything we can to use it. If it wins we will WANT to use it because that will give us the most future sales. BUT... You do need to know that there can be odd reasons why we might not be able to. For example we might not be able to use the Photoshop file for some reason or we might find a copyrighted image in the cover design.

9. Submit your created cover on or before May 14, 2014

I will be giving you updates as it all happens. Now most of the time when people give updates on how a project is going (like getting a book published). They are really boring. BUT I WILL DO BETTER! You can be guaranteed to be LOL'ing on every update. :D

So stay tuned for more updates!

I really want to thank you all once again for reading my works and enjoying it and hope you think The Assistant is worthy enough for you to read again! I loe you all so much! xx
