The Merciless Black List Of Highland High #1 | OUT MAY 30

Plot twist!

I'm screaming, you guys! I have an announcement to make. You ready? 

I can't help but send you fuzzy, electronic hugs wherever you are! I hope you're having a nice day, and I hope what I'm about to say is going to make it even better. 

Sooooo here it goes:

The Merciless Blacklist of Highland High is getting published!

I know! I can't believe it either! It feels unbelievable to be able to say this after such a long time (I believe it's been a couple years since I told you about the news but then had to postpone it all due to personal reasons). 

A big thank you to all of you for making this possible!

Thank you for joining me on the rollercoaster ride that is The Merciless Blacklist of Highland High Series. I loved telling this story so much (even though it made me want to rip my hair out at times haha), and I'm beyond grateful to have all of you whom I can share it with.

As a token of my gratitude, I will be giving away never-before-seen content!

Everybody gets a bonus chapter!

The book is going to be published on May 30, 2022 EST. I'm still here on Wattpad, but for copyright reasons, my publisher has asked me to take down the chapters before publishing.

They are also setting up an author page for me! On this site, you can participate in a book cover contest for my book. You can create and submit the cover you've always wanted and imagined for the story. And who knows? Maybe you'll be the lucky one to have his/her name on the book cover!

You? A book cover artist? Imagine that!

The following are the things you need to know before joining the contest:

• Send the cover to my agent at ftwagent@gmail.com on or before May 13, 2022.

• Know that if we choose your cover, you will get credit on the physical cover. If you're an aspiring graphic artist, this can be a good addition to your portfolio and might bring you future work from us and other book publishers.

• If your cover wins, you will have to fill out a form that lets us have the cover.

• The use of copyrighted images is NOT allowed. Please use royalty-free images.

• If your cover wins, we will do everything we can to use it. However, you need to know that there can be odd reasons why we might not be able to. For example, we might not be able to use the Photoshop file because of an error or we might find a copyrighted image in the cover design.

The cover must meet the following requirements:

• High resolution in JPG and PSD (Photoshop) format so we can use it for the paperback version of the book

• 5.5 in x 8.5 in and 300 DPI (pixels per inch)

• Must have the book title "The Merciless Blacklist of Highland High" and the author's name "Zela Callok"

Some tips:

• The cover has to look good in Amazon thumbnail size. Attract possible readers; make them want to click on it.

• The text needs to be readable.

• Maximum use of two fonts only.

By the way, this is not mandatory. I'm only giving you guys the chance to get involved in the book launch because I couldn't have gotten here without you. I can't thank you all enough!

Please stay tuned for more updates. I'll see you in the next post!

Much love, 
(now pen-named) Zela.
