TUNE TITLE CONTEST
Hey, TUNE readers, I need your help!
TUNE, Book 1 will be published by First Second Books in the fall later this year, and they want a secondary title for each volume. For example, “BONE, Book 1: Out of Boneville” or “Lord of the Rings, Book 2: The Two Towers,” etc. I suggested “Praxis and Allies” for the first book, but my editor didn’t like it. So I’ve been racking my brains for a better title, but it’s been really difficult. This is where you come in. You may have a chance to title the book and see it emblazoned on the cover of every single copy of TUNE, Book 1 for the rest of eternity!
Book 1 covers chapters 1-10, so the title should be appropriate for that span in the story. Good luck!
RULES: Enter via tunebook1title(at)yahoo(dot)com. You can enter as many titles as you like. If the winning title is entered by multiple contestants, the earliest received entry will be selected as the winner. And feel free to post your entries in the comments section below for discussion!
PRIZES:
Winner: A signed copy of TUNE, Book 1: “Insert You Awesome Title Here”, an original drawing by Derek Kirk Kim of any 2 characters of the winner’s choosing, and a special thank you credit in the book.
Two runner ups: A signed copy of TUNE, Book 1: “Insert You Awesome Title Here.”
DEADLINE: January 30, 2011
DISCLAIMER: There’s no guarantee of a winner as none of the entries might be appropriate, but I have faith in the whip-smart TUNE community to come up with something awesome and clever! But even if I end up using a title of my own, the prizes will still be awarded to my top three favorite entries.
That’s nerve-racking!
Hmmm… Is she smuggling paper or has she actually drew something?! Either way, I guess she’s breaking the law. Bold move.
Or I’m completely wrong. Let’s see what happens.
Oh man, I hope it’s a contract addendum. Or a really, really good Praxian handywipe. I can smell Andy from here.
Am I the only one that thinks Dash is freaking sexy? Is that normal for a Praxian?
@Sam… But that got me to wondering: What does she really look like? What color is her skin? I mean, for all we know, their faces are dark because they wear tinted glass on their helmet things, so we can just see eyes & teeth. Except you can see her hair, so maybe not. Or maybe they’re all naked, except for gloves, shoulder pads, utility belts, & helmets. Ohh man Aliens (to our dimension) are too creepy. Sorry, I just ruined it, didn’t I?
Orrr…. DID you?
I like to think she’s wearing a snug black stretch-velvet bodysuit.
It is a drawing of Andy!!
