Is this contest for the authors of the book or for the graphic designer who did the cover?
Thank you for your question.
This contest is for authors of the books. However, if you designed the cover of your book, then you can enter too!
I have a cover but no "book" yet--release date in June. Can I still enter?
Hi Amie, yes you can enter. All books accepted for publication and have a cover design are eligible.
Can you give me the direct link for people to vote at? I'll post it on my blog, Facebook etc! Thanks! Claire
Hi Claire! The direct link is:

When they arrive on the site, they will see the covers on the left and scroll down to view all. If they want to vote, all they have to do is leave a comment on the entry of their choice (one vote per person).
Thank you for spreading the word!
