I have only 2 words to say about the Houston Bay Area RWA contest Judge A Book By Its Cover, or JABBIC as it's commonly known. It's baaacccckkkk!
JABBIC was the first to celebrate book cover art, and it's now open so get your entries in early.
Why Enter JABBIC 2014
The submitted book cover art will be judged by booksellers around the world. The winning cover in each category will be featured in a full-page color ad on the inside front cover of the April 2015 Romance Writers Report, the official Romance Writers of America publication.
Again this year, Reader's Choice Winners from each category will be featured on the Houston Bay Area RWA web site. Hundreds of thousands of votes were cast for the JABBIC 2013 covers during the Reader's Choice voting!
This contest is open to self-published authors as well as traditionally-published authors. (This is a chance to celebrate the cover artists who work with indie authors.)
