Rae: Louder than Words (AKA: MY BOOK COVER!!!)


So. I got the cover for my book, Rae. Look! It has my name on it! (DUDE!) If you don't know about it (I've only talked about it briefly on my blog), it's part of a teen memoir series called Louder than Words, the first three of which were titled Marni, Emily, and Chelsey (hence mine being called Rae, after my middle name) and came out last year. The next three, released in Fall 2010, will be titled Alexis, Hannah, and Rae (me!) Mine's about dealing with anxiety in high school, among other things, and told in novel format. I tried to make it funny. You'll have to tell me if I succeeded.

So. What do you think about the cover?
