Dear John Francis,

I banged out a couple cover ideas for your debut YA novel and thought I’d share them with you here. I tried to send them to you using the messages app, but that failed.

It’s basically the same cover with two different font workups. Let me know what you think.

The below version is a little closer to what I used font-wise on the original mock-up.

I feel like I might as well include the animatic we made for the prologue to “The Sent Back” here, in case folks want to hear you read this backstory aloud in your sonorous Duluth accent, with my rough sketches to follow along.

Anywho, it’s late and I gotsta go. Let me know what you think.

OX&C,

Faux Jean

p.s. please don’t download these files and use them as originals to submit with the publisher; I’ll get an uncompressed version for that purpose.

p.p.s in any event, I expect you to have revisions.

p.p.p.s I remain your humble servant &c.
