I have a question — I’ve sent it to Cleis, but they haven’t answered, so I’m hoping you can help. I have a few words I like for the competition but I’m wondering:
It says take a photograph, but that implies you already have the books in question. If you have them, you could want to win them in order to share the joy, but… Can you use screenshots of the covers in your chosen order? I don’t have them, but would really like them. A LOT.
Also, do you think they’d allow you to send more than one word? I have two and can’t choose.
Well, that was stupid. I guess you could say I have two questions. I’ve been writing all day, and my mind is mush.
Oh, gosh, these are great questions. I don’t have answers though, sadly. I’m going to pose them to Alison Tyler, the series editor, and see what I can find out!
Best, s.
