Love your book cover and cover artist? Then enter the cover in JABBIC, that's Judge A Book By Its Cover, sponsored by the Houston Bay Area Romance Writers of America.This annual contest with the funny name, JABBIC, was the first to celebrate book cover art. It's open for entries now so don't let the holiday rush make you forget to enter.
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!
