I've been blown away by your kind and helpful emails about finding an agent, so I went to the site of the book cover design contest to see if we're on the same page as to the best entry. Here's my take: #3191, the one with the frayed knot, which totally emphasizes the need for hope. The others are either nondescript, or cliche. Well, that's my opinion. That one really stands forth. I'm a writer at heart (I"ve got an unpublished novel and a graphic novel, filmscripts up the galore, but as a designer/artist by profession (see my web page, please), I can't be wrong about this selection? Well... I really don't think so, but would like YOUR opinion! Dan Folkus 856-939-3116 Hi Mahesh!

I like 2671 by Lopez 4. The cover is dark but the strong and lovely hands which entwine and intertwine are very powerful, particularly in these trying times in which most of the world finds itself. The colors of the letters The Hope You Need are in blue, a vibrant , primary color of the Universe .It is loaded with symbolisms as well as subliminal messages to the would be reader. Many of the designs stood out for their inane lack of creativity and originality although they looked attractive. I think selling that particular type of book needs more than "attractive". I don't mean to be churlish, just candid. Yours most cordially, Contessa Isabella Vacani Dear Mahesh,
Felicitations on Rosh Hashana!
