Teen Choice and New Cover!
January 13, 2009
Check out the new cover for How to Be Bad! Gator is new, girl is old. The paperback is coming out this summer, and along with the gator on the cover it'll have all kinds of fun extras: a playlist, top-secret emails we sent while working on the book, etc. (Here, by the way, is the official How to Be Bad page, which has photos from our travel adventures, a video, and various other fun stuff).
Do you notice my name is now at the bottom, rather than the top? That's because when it was in alphabetical order, as on the first cover, all the bookshops were shelving HTBB only under my name, and not under Sarah's or Lauren's. And we decided that since the glorious Ms. Myracle is a NYTimes bestselling author, we'd rather be shelved under her name than mine! Hence the change.
(Yes, for some reason it is impossible to shelve under multiple authors...)
Also: as Lauren points out here (a very amusing post) HTBB and Disreputable History and Bliss are nominated (with a gazillion other cool books) for the Teen Choice award. So you can go vote between now and January 31!
I love getting cover art. It is one of my favorite parts of being a writer. So tell me: which cover do you like, and why?
