30 Covers, 30 Days 2017: Day Twenty-Two

Every November, during National Novel Writing Month, thirty professional designers volunteer to create book cover art inspired by novels being written by aspiring authors from around the globe. Why? To encourage new, diverse voices, and help build a more creative world.  

30 Covers, 30 Days is presented in partnership with designer and author Debbie Millman. Read more about these NaNoWriMo 2017 novels-in-progress, and the cover designers, below.

Down on the River by the Sugar Plant

A Literary novel being written this November by YWP participant Rachel Tess Kelly in the United States.

Sam Everett can read people’s thoughts, and he can reach inside their minds and pull out what he desires. Sylvia Everett can make people see what she wants them to see, and she can keep them from seeing what she doesn’t.  

The Everett twins seem to be ultimate and uncontainable beings, but there is plenty to make them feel powerless in a world of politics and war and injustice. They are merely children, after all. This story is an ode to Cleveland, a celebration of the bonds between siblings, and a gentle commentary on the manner in which we speak to children about the wrongness in the world.
