Are you our next book cover artist?
Diktonius Text free e-books are downloaded more than 2000 times so far and more every day. Now we are looking for an artist who would like to do the next cover of our upcoming novel by Margi Henning. Maybe you are the one?
We can not pay you for the picture but instead you will have your name in the e-book and if you like, also a link to your web site, which will get you tons of new visitors and perhaps also customers? Of course you are free to use the picture in your portfolio too!
The book cover should be a picture of the wedding photo, which is described here below. It´s a part of the book where the two main characters are newly married and visit a wedding photographer. The wedding photo will later be hanging on the wall in their home. The extract is from the novel “A Perfect Husband”, which you can download and read for free from

"Now we are in front of the photographer. Behave yourself,” Nina said, when she more or less dragged me out of the car and away against a door. Above there was an old sign,” Master Photographer".
It seemed that Nina knew the young man who met us when we came into the studio.
"Hi Nina! And congratulations on your wedding day. Was it a pleasant wedding?" He asked as he kissed Nina on the cheek and then looked at me.
"It was unforgettable," Nina said, looking happy.
"Hi, my name is Tobias and I´m the photographer," he said to me and held out his hand. I took it and said hi.
"Stefan", I presented myself as, and he showed us into a small room with bright light and a chair.
"Hmmm ..." Tobias said, staring at me, ”the question is how we do. Under normal circumstances, the woman is standing behind the man but it will probably be a bit crazy because you are so tall,” he said and then looked at Nina.
"Maybe he can sit on my lap," suggested Nina and Tobias laughed.
"Uh, it will be an unusual picture," he hesitated.
"But is it a problem, then," Nina asked.
Tobias shook his head.
"No, just different. We can try,” he said, and Nina took me over to the chair and sat down and pulled me up on her thighs so that I was sitting with my back to Nina's breasts. I dared not protest, even if the whole situation seemed odd. It was, after all, the picture that we would have been put on a wall at home. What would others who saw it think?
Tobias grinned as he stood behind the camera.
"Sit still and smile now," he said and I tried to smile when lightning exploded around us. He took some pictures and then looked up.
"Can´t you try to sit at one of Nina's legs," Tobias asked and I hesitated. It would feel very childish, but Nina picked me up a bit and took away her leg so that it landed next to me and suddenly I was sitting on her right thigh and she held me.
"I have to hold you tight so you don´t fall," she whispered in my ear while Tobias took some pictures.
I didn´t want to get along with this and tried to get away, but Nina stuck my arms.
"Let me go. I want to get dofffgghhhh,”I complained when she put her other hand over my mouth from behind while Nina smiled and the camera continued to take pictures. Tobias laughed and continued to take photos for a moment while I fought in Nina's grip. I was embarrassed but could not do anything. When he finished his work, he looked enormous satisfied and talked to Nina.
"This is perfect. I will send some pictures to you within a week,” he said, and could hardly keep from laughing when he looked at me. Probably, I was quite red in the face.
"Wonderful, Tobias. I look forward to it. Tomorrow we go on honeymoon and will be back in a week so you will not be in a hurry,” Nina chirped and took my hand.
"Thank you very much. We keep in touch then,” Nina said, when we went to the door and Tobias waved at us.
“
What we want is a picture where the tiny Stefan is sitting on Ninas lap with Ninas hand over his mouth as described in the text. They have both wedding clothes. Nina is wearing a white wedding dress and Stefan is wearing a black men’s suit with a white shirt under it.
If you think you can do it, please give it a try and e-mail the picture to us. If you have other ideas of a picture for the front cover, or maybe inside the book, don´t hesitate to ask!
Kind Regards,
