I'm am utterly over the moon! Words can't describe the kind of joy I'm feeling.
If I could hug and thank all of you I would. I hope that you are already having the best day ever and I hope that I can make it better!
So here is my news:
It's finally happening! This book is getting published.
That's right. The Princess and The Alpha, my book, is getting published. I can barely believe it and I couldn't have done it without all of the love and support from you guys. Each comment and critique made me a better writer and pushed me through those hard parts. I adore writing and I'm so grateful that I could share this with you.
To show my appreciation for the best reader in the world I have crafted something just for you. I will be giving away new, fresh content for this book. You get a bonus chapter!
The book is going to be published on February 23, 2020 EST. I'm still here on Wattpad, but for copyright reasons, my publisher asked me to take down the last few chapters before publishing, which you all already knew.
Because I'm getting published I will have a professional website set up. On this site, you can participate in a book cover contest for The Princess and The Alpha. You can create and submit the cover you've always wanted and imagined for the story. And who knows? Maybe you'll be the lucky one to have his/her name in print on the book itself and on its cover!
You have all shown me time and time again how talented and creative you are and I would be honored if I could share a piece of my book with you. I'm excited for all of this artistic talent to blow me away as it always does.
The following are the things you need to know before joining the contest:
• Send the covers to my agent at on or before February 8, 2020.
• Know that if we choose your cover, you will get credit on the physical cover and inside the book. If you're an aspiring graphic artist, this can be a good addition to your portfolio and might bring you future work from us and other book publishers.
• If your cover wins, you will have to fill out a form that lets us have the cover.
• You cannot use any copyrighted images. You can use royalty-free images.
• If your cover wins, we will do everything we can to use it. However, you 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 because of an error or we might find a copyrighted image in the cover design.
The cover must meet the following requirements:
• High-res, in JPG and PSD (Photoshop) format so that we can use it for the paperback version of the book
• 5.5 in x 8.5 in and 300 DPI (pixels per inch)
• Must have the book title "The Princess and The Alpha" and the author's name "K.M. Carnoky"
Some tips:
• The cover has to look good in Amazon thumbnail size. Attract possible readers; make them want to click on it.
• The text needs to be readable.
• Use a maximum of two fonts.
By the way, this is not mandatory. I'm only giving you guys the chance to get involved in the book launch because I couldn't have gotten here without you. I can't thank you all enough!
Please stay tuned for more updates. I'll see you in the next post!
