2011 EPIC ARIANA ART COMPETITION™ is OPEN!

In its 12th year, the ARIANA honors the finest selection of cover art for electronically published books.

Art, in its endless variety, forms the solid core of EPIC, the Electronic Publishing Industry Coalition™, an organization consisting of industry professionals from outstanding authors, publishers, and editors to those imaginative artists who give eBooks eye-catching covers.

This prestigious award promotes superlative ePublishing artwork, applauding the best of the best in eBook publishing. Finalists and the winner are selected on the basis of the appropriateness of artwork to genre, the artist's attention to detail (including style and/or method), and the effectiveness of presentation (i.e. that book title, author’s name, publisher logo/information (if included), etc. are clearly viewed).

Conference Anyone?

If you’d like to attend a conference this season, but like most of us, are concerned about the cost, let me recommend EPICon. Presented on a smaller scale, this makes it ideal because it’s less expensive than most, in a fun location, and is offering an excellent roster of speakers (besides me, check out the list) to help you improve your craft and marketing skills.

The banner provides a link so you can take a look yourself. If you’d prefer an intimate setting, where you’ll get the most bang for your buck. This is it.
