So here's the deal;
As many are aware, the Haven is attempting something new with our fundraising by creating a product to be sold offsite, and to potentially anyone who considers TG/TF and interest (see thread [url=http://www.rachelshaven.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=41&topic=70781.0]Calling all Writers: Haven Short Story Collection looking for submissions[/url]for more info). But with this medium a cover is required.
So why turn to our resident artists? Well, it comes down to making sure what will go on sale is 100% legal. We need to know we have the right to use anything within the collection, and that applies to the artwork as well as the stories themselves. For that reason we can't just grab random images off the web.
So, as the plan is that each story will be sold separately as well as in a discounted collection we'll need a cover for each in order to put it up for sale. To try to maintain some consistency final covers will be black and white, even if it's sent to me in color. As each story goes through editing, I'll place enough info to create a cover to match the story.
[b]To make sure no one wastes time working on something someone else is, cover assignments will be on a first come, first serve basis. However, if someone does not produce anything within a week I will open it up for someone else to claim.[/b] Finished covers can be sent to This email address is being protected from spambots.

Each artist will receive an award token featuring their cover art and an artist credit for their own name or a pen name in the story collection.
