An Introduction to 30 Covers 30 Days 2016

Happy planning month, Wrimos! The leaves are falling, the air is crisp, and it’s time for the annual tradition of 30 Covers 30 Days!

What is 30 Covers 30 Days?

Thirty very lucky Wrimos will be chosen to have a cover for their 2016 NaNo novel designed in just 24 hours by one of the talented designers recruited by our wonderful coordinator, Debbie Millman.

Debbie is a writer, educator, artist, brand consultant and host of the radio show Design Matters, not to mention president of Sterling Brands for the last twenty years and President Emeritus of the American Institute of Graphic Arts. So don’t worry, your novel is in very capable hands.

We’ll be posting a new cover every day of November, both on this blog and on our forums.

If you’d like to see what some of our previous covers were like, you can check them out here.

Cool! I want a cover made for my novel!

That’s great! All you have to do is submit your novel right here.

A few things to know before you submit your novel:

This form is not for YWP submissions. A separate form will be posted for Young Writers to submit their novels.

Your form can’t be edited once you submit it, so please read the entire form carefully.

You do not have to use your real name. We celebrate and encourage pen names!

If your novel is selected, we’ll get in contact with you, and we can all jump up and down and hug and cry together.

If you have any other questions about 30 Covers 30 Days, feel free to post them in this thread, or send me a NaNoMail.

In the meantime, check out NaNo Artisans on the forums to get a cover designed by a fellow Wrimo, or design some yourself.

Now go for it! Your cover is waiting.
