Publisher Vera Nazarian writes with word of Norilana Books‘ Sword and Sorceress #23 Cover Image Contest. Specifically, the publisher is looking for a winning photo of “a warrior-like woman with a sword or other old-fashioned weapon, striking a martial arts pose, and dressed in an appropriate fantasy outfit (pre-industrial) to be used as part of a design for the cover of the upcoming volume of Marion Zimmer Bradley’s Sword and Sorceress classic anthology series.”
Photos must be submitted as url links (not attachments) via e-mail to service at norilana dot com by 10 August. The winning photo will be used as part of the cover, and the winning photographer will receive a cover credit and a copy of the book, so “get out those swords, go out there, get your friends to dress up in gorgeous costumes, strike up some fun warrior poses, and use your imagination! For best results photos should be full-body (as opposed to head shot or torso only), against a plain background (try to avoid too much background scenery).”
