Do you judge books by their covers? We want you!

We know that a book’s cover is really important – in many cases, it’s your first impression of a book and helps you decide whether you want to pick it up and delve further.

Publishers Head of Zeus are looking for two fantastic, enthusiastic reading groups to judge best-selling author Amanda Prowse’s books by their covers. They want to meet your group to get your honest feedback on the current book covers and to help them brainstorm ideas for bestselling author Amanda Prowse’s future designs.

What you’ll do

The Head of Zeus team will meet each participating group in early 2016 to get feedback to help them design the new book jacket for the paperback release of Perfect Daughter, Amanda’s latest book. Ahead of the focus group, each group will receive two titles by Amanda Prowse, A Mother’s Story and Perfect Daughter to read over November and December as well as a feedback form to complete. As a thank you for participating, each reading group will also receive a case of wine for their next meeting to toast their hard work!
