Most of the covers are the ones in the main literary contest and they automatically went in the initial round of this contest. The literary contest was open (submissions lasted 6 months and closed on Sep 15), no fees were requested but only few authors from Amber Quill Press submitted:
Angelia Sparrow & Naomi Brooks - Alive On The Inside
Anne Brooke - The Hit List
K.C. Kendricks - Tango in the Night
Lynn Lorenz - No Good Deed
P.A. Brown - Lynx Woods
P.A. Brown - Memory of Darkness
Rick R. Reed - The Blue Moon Cafe
Other than here I promoted the contest on FaceBook and Amber Quill Press is in my circle of friends, plus I wrote to their review coordinator, so it's not that I didn't reach out for them. I think they chose to let authors to submit rather then submitting as publishers.
Some cover artists chose to submit the cover even if the book was not in contest and so did some publishers. Again submissions were open and free, but I have never received any request from Amber Quill. I even did an exception with A.J. Llewellyn's cover for Amber Allure, he asked if he could submit the cover after the contest was already at round 3 and that is the reason why it's listed at the end of round 4, I accepted it. But now we are at round 4, plenty of promotion behind it, and now I think it's a little late to submit, it would be not fair for the other covers that didn't pass the previous round.
