Holiday Catalog Cover Submission Guidelines for Publishers
- Cover designs may look wintry and/or festive, but not holiday-specific (i.e. no traditional or specific holiday symbols or imagery). All artwork should be as inclusive as possible.
- Children’s book art is not a requirement; preferred designs will reach all audiences and readers, not just children’s customers. Think fun and festive, but not too juvenile.
- Cover designs should have a reading-focused, indie vibe rather than mass-market or commercial.
