THEME
Your theme sets the tone for the storyline of the year, so you definitely want it to have impact. Choose a theme that helps you tell a story about being a student in your school, at this unique time.  

COVER
Once your theme is set,  you can dream and imagine your cover. Remember,
YOUR COVER IS A
PROMISE TO YOUR READERS.
Your cover should also act as a toolbox- refer to it as you begin developing your page layouts, and reference it often to ensure your theme flows throughout your book.  

Use these links to help as you move through the theme & cover development process.
