30 Day Challenge – 30 Days, 30 Covers

 

A late start, but for the entire month of July I’ll be doing a book cover a day, every day. Yes, while all of you are enjoying the phantasmagorical beaches of some tropical island, I’ll be here working hard with the sun beating down on me.

Or not, because up here it’s raining right now and it’s cold as hell.

So, ride along with me as I post a new cover each day, along with a few words and maybe a photo of two of my office. 

FAQ

Why are you doing this?

I’ve been feeling lazy and want to increase my output and be more creative.

What do I get out of it?

You can look at it with your eyeballs. You can purchase the book covers created. 

Are these covers available for sale?

Yes, yes they are. While this is going on, everything in my store will be discounted by 30%. 

How can I support you?

I’m glad you asked. If you’d like to get first dibs on the covers produced while I’m doing this, you can purchase a gift card from my online shop. The covers will be up for sale a day after they’re posted, so you have first crack at it by emailing me and telling me you want it. 

You can also support me on Patreon. You get a non-exclusive cover each month, but most importantly, you’re doing the best deed: putting money in my pockets.

Sharing this on social media is also super useful and something that cool kids do. You should too!

Okay so now what?

First cover drops July 3rd. Follow me on Facebook, Instagram, and/or Twitter.
