Síntese do concurso

I have a friend who has written her first book. It is the first in a trilogy. She's currently self published and it is available on Amazon.

The Rubies of Wisdom, written by C M Small, is the first book of a fantasy adventure series for 9-12 year olds that sees best friends Rufus and Seth transported to the magical island of Gajoli. Rufus and Seth find themselves caught in an epic adventure, where dangerous beasts, beings and plants abound, and human beings are the strange ones! With imagination and courage as their only weapons, they face new challenges every day – and you can help them spring onto our bookshelves in style, by designing their front cover!

Happy to provide the opening chapter to give you a feel. Also you can find out more on the book's website: www.theuncertainadventurers.com

  @Rikopolis Thank you. If true (and as ravish517 has no profile any more, I assume it is) that is a really cynical thing to do. People work in good faith. Makes me really genuinely cross. I sincerely hope that Freelancer staff do all they can to track them down.

  You're welcome!...Unfortunately watching for such issues is left to other freelancers and the clients..just searching on Google image search by URL or uploading an image will reveal such impostors.

Hi, thanks for invited me. Do you think this contest can go a little bit longer for me to enter my participation in high quality? Thanks

  Hi, I would love to extend but I don't think it would be fair to the others who have already entered - above all I want to be fair! I hope you do get chance to submit something, but appreciate you may not be able to. Thanks for your interest.

This might be a little cheeky but I wonder if those who have read the opening chapters via Amazon might rate it and leave a comment. I absolutely promise that this will in no way whatsoever have a bearing on the decision here - in fact I won't even look! But I think that kind of engagement on Amazon would help Catherine in the long run. Thanks.

  Hi, you can get the opening chapers on Amazon. The book is on a special rate at the moment anyway, but those first 2 chapters are free!

Hi there. Are you able to give us some sort of description of what you would ideally like on the cover, eg; two boys ride on a gryphon in the moonlight, one has dark hair one has red hair?

  The author is trying to stay out of dictating what it should involve - preferring instead that you have free creative license! The only thing to bear in mind is the audience and type of story. Happy to feedback in detail with any pointers on work submitted.

Amazing competition.
I have so many ideas, but the time is simply not enough.
Can you please extend it?

  To be honest i did want it as 7 days but slipped!! All I can suggest is that you outline your ideas and submit. I'm happy that it might not be finished articles but outline and examples of what the outcome will be should be fine... Happy also to answer any and all questions! Thanks.

  do you need the final page in color?

  It's aimed at pre teen and early teen boys mainly, so my assumption was that it would be in colour, but that's not a hard rule!

you think you could send some physical description of the characters? you know, as a reference, thank you!

  @VictorH90 Catherine is keen not to influence too much in this regard. The site does have a description of the characters, but it is as much about their spirit as anything else. Amazon does give away the first couple of chapters so it might be worth a quick scan to pick up on the style. Thanks!
