But I think I’m allergic to copyedits. I woke up this morning with a sore (and slightly swollen) neck. But never fear, minions, Auntie Heather is hard at work once again (despite the both literal and figurative pain in the neck), wading through copyedits and taking time off to stare at my gorgeous new cover art!!!
Isn’t it bee-you-tee-full??? I’m completely in love with my cover designer…and with Andrew (the model who portrays Vlad)! Just an amazing job. Dutton is taking such good care of me.
And now it’s your turn. Go forth, my loyal minions…and pre-order your very own copy of EIGHTH GRADE BITES!!! Then spread the word far and wide.
Because hey…I need more minions.

Your cover is great, I love it! I’m not looking forward to my own copyedits, but at least now I know what to expect! Good luck!
Steph
Thanks, Steph! And yeah, copyedits…phew! Hard stuff, but definitely thankful for editors and copyeditors. If the book had gone out as-is…ick. I don’t even wanna think about it.
Big, big congrats, Heather! My nieces and nephews will be receiving copies. Woohooo!
XO,
Christopher
Thank you, Christopher! And I’ll be happy to sign every one. :-*
Nice cover! I like what they’ve done with the fonts.
Thanks, Greg! Yeah, I’m loving the fonts too.

Cool, Heather! Love Vlad’s blue eyes and dark hair. He looks very mysterious. Pretty hot for an eighth grader!
Hey… late to the party, but damn that looks good.
Congrats on such a great cover and having the publisher go with your ideas.
I put up a link to the pre-order on my blog, but since you are one of the few people who visit my blog I don’t know how much it will help
Keep up with the copy edits. I know you’ll do great
Thanks Paula & Ewoh!
And don’t worry, Ewoh…I’ll buy it.
Awesome cover!!! Can’t wait to receive pup’s copy so you can sign it!
You’re a doll, Sybir! :-*
Congratulations! It must be such an exciting moment, actually seeing what your book is going to look like. Kind of like seeing your kid for the first time, only (I would guess) longer in the making. It looks very cool!
Thanks, Jen!

Aunty heather honestly i am glad that this isnt the real cover the one on it now is sooo good and fits so much better if Vlad had long hair i would begg and cry to have it lopped off he is better without it (ment with all respect)
