C.C. Urie is a Multi-Genre Christian Author who lives in Michigan. Her whole world revolves around her family, and her favorite time of year is when the leaves start to change. She’s always had a love for reading, and enjoys sharing her stories with others. Her true calling in life is using her books to help spread the Good Word and show others how God has changed her life for the better.
COVER ART CONTEST: Can a cover DESIGNER participate? Of course. Can an author participate even if they did not design their cover? Yep. Is there a limit on the number of covers that I submit? Please, only send one cover per author/design company. Can you submit a cover that has participated in a previous Cover Art Contest? We ask that you only submit a cover once to one of our contests. What about AI art? As long as a human had a hand in creating part of the cover, it is fine to submit it. Does it matter what genre the book is? No, but keep it clean!
Submissions will begin January 13 and go through January 25. (Submissions are completely FREE). Submit your cover at the link below. Voting will begin January 27 and go through February 8. (Voting is also FREE). The winner will be announced February 13 in our Newsletter. See our website for the small print. The winner will receive a $20 Amazon Gift Card and the other covers will be included in the magazine along with their submission information. The winner will also receive a certificate with a special 3D-printed medallion (only within the US).*
This Contest is Sponsored by Author Dave Pratt (daveprattbooks.com) and Author Jessica Bertrand (jessicabertrand.com). This contest is looking for more sponsors! Submit a request HERE!
* Prizes will not be distributed until after the magazine goes to print. Medallions are only shipped in the continental United States.
SPRING WRITING CONTEST: Don't forget to submit your micro-story by the end of the month. We currently have a lower than usual submission rate so if you want to try our contest, this is the time! You are asked to write a micro-story beginning with “Through the window, I saw...” using the photo found on the "Contests" page of our website as inspiration. The only restriction on your creativity is that you keep your micro-story clean. All genres are accepted. Submissions will open January 1-31. Please keep your submission to between 1,000 and 1,500 words. To submit your story fill out the form found on the “Contests” page of our website. We will not use your micro-stories without your permission and the winner/s will be sent pages for approval. The winners will appear in our March 20th Spring Edition. We cannot wait to read what you write about this new image and are excited to read your submissions!
This Contest is Sponsored by the Strangers & Aliens Podcast (StrangersAndAliens.com) and Author Kelly F. Barr (KellyFBarr.com).
May your day be bright and your reading be epic!
