Fans flock to Mars for “Most Awesomely Bad SFF Cover in the World”

Publisher Orbit Books is asking fans for suggestions so it can create an especially bad, but entirely fictional, SFF book cover. If you’re interested, you have a couple of weeks to submit an idea for “the most ridiculously bad high-concept SFF book cover in the universe.” Once Orbit has picked a title, they’ll work out the reading line, the blurbs, and the cover elements. Then, fans will have an opportunity to help Orbit design a cover for the fictional book.
