Newbie with a new cover!
« on: August 08, 2012, 01:15 AM »
I joined this board a few years ago and found a fantastic critique group. I stopped visiting for awhile, but now I'm back with great news!

A cover for my first YA novel, The Mist on Brontė Moor.  The release date is January 8, 2013 (WiDo Publishing).  Check it out on my website/blog: http://www.avivaorr.com

I am so thankful for this board and all the wonderful resources it provides for writers!

I'd pick it up based on the title alone, so the cover ought to really make it jump off the shelves. Looking forward to you sharing what you've learned along the way with the rest of us!

Thanks!  It is very exciting to finally get a cover for the book you have been working on forever!  I still can't fully process the fact that my book is actually going to be published. It's surreal.  Yesterday, my publisher put my book on Goodreads, which was very exciting. Feel free to friend me on Goodreads, especially if you enjoy reading young adult.
