How to Vote Anonymously for AllAuthor’s Cover of the Month

Beautiful and Terrible Things is now in Round 3 of AllAuthor’s January Cover of the Month contest! Competition promises to be fierce in this round. Only 24 of the 50 covers in the running make it to the final round and some of the leaders clearly have a massive following voting for them.

If you agree that the cover of Beautiful and Terrible Things is a winner, please vote before Round 3 ends in a few days. Here’s how you can vote without creating an AllAuthor account. (If you already have a free AllAuthor account, or don’t mind creating one, that works too of course!)

This “anonymous voting” option, as AllAuthor calls it, is in beta and although it really is quick and easy, at the same time it can be a little tricky finding the right places to click.

So, here are the two ways I’ve found that you can vote anonymously, with detailed instructions.

Note that you can only vote for 24 covers total. Of course, voting for just a few books or only Beautiful and Terrible Things helps those books more than voting for a full 24…

Method #1 – Sign In with Facebook

This way seems to be the easiest, if you have a Facebook account:

Go to: https://allauthor.com/cover-of-the-month/If on a computer, click on SIGNUP at the top. If on a phone, the Signup option will appear in a pop-up window.A window will pop up asking you to enter information including a user name and password. You don’t have to do this if you don’t want to create an account. Instead, you can click on the little Facebook icon at the top of the popup window. (See image to the right.)AllAuthor will then either ask you to confirm your Facebook account, or log into your Facebook account.

That’s it! You’ll be able to see all 50 covers and vote accordingly.

Method #2Go to this page: https://allauthor.com/cover-of-the-month-voting/. (You can also get there from their homepage by going to Contest at the top and choosing Anonymous Voting from the dropdown menu.)You will be shown 2 covers and can vote for your favorite or pick both. However…If you don’t want to flip through 25 sets of covers, or want to see all 50 covers at once, click on the orange button (see image below) that says View All Fiction Covers.You will go to a page showing all 50 books. Simply scroll down to vote for the ones you want.Let Us Know How It Goes

Because website navigation is not a linear affair, I can’t promise this is exactly how it will work on your computer or phone with your browser. But it should be close enough that you can log in with Facebook if you want, or vote anonymously in the Cover of the Month contest using Method #2. If you have any issues, feel free to let us know.

And thank you again for the votes and support! Let’s make it to Round 4!!
