30 Covers, 30 Days 2018: An Introduction

Now recruiting all Wrimos!

Yes, it’s me again—your friendly neighborhood intern, Nick—here to announce that this year’s edition of 30 Covers, 30 Days is open!

Fall is upon us, prep season is in full swing, and November is fast approaching, which means it’s time for one of our favorite parts of NaNoWriMo!

What is 30 Covers, 30 Days?

Thirty very lucky Wrimos will be chosen to have a cover for their 2018 NaNo novel, designed by one of the many talented artists 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.

That sounds super cool! How do I sign up?

Submitting your novel is easier than ever. All you have to do is complete this form.

A few things to know before you submit your novel:

Your form can’t be edited once you submit it, so please read the entire form carefully. There are ways to withdraw and resubmit, however — and you can find those details in the original post on the 30 Covers, 30 Days Intro thread. There’s more information on the whole process in that thread, too.
You don’t have to use your real name. We celebrate and encourage pen names!If your novel is selected, we’ll get in touch with you, and we can all jump up and down and hug and cry together (happy tears).If you have any questions about 30 Covers, 30 Days, feel free to post in the forum, or send me a NaNoMail. 

In the meantime, check out the NaNo Artisans forum  to have a cover designed by a fellow Wrimo, or design one yourself.

The submission form is open until November 15. 

Now go forth and make your novel!
