I'm going to be posting them in a second, because they're awesome and lovely, but first I want to explain to you what they are. These are the covers for the Trylle Trilogy editions that are coming out in the UK, Australia, India, South Africa, and Asia. Below each cover, I'll also be putting the release dates, since it's slightly different than the US release dates.
So... here they are!
These are the "adult" covers for the trilogy:
 |
| Coming January 5, 2012 |
 |
| Coming March 1, 2012 |
 |
| Coming April 26, 2012 |
These are the "young adult" covers for the trilogy:
 |
| YA Edition Coming January 5, 2012 |
 |
| YA Edition Coming March 1, 2012 |
 |
| YA Edition Coming April 26, 2012 |
You may ask yourself, "adult" version? I thought these were all young adult books? They are, kinda. But my publishers in the UK came up with the idea to add different bonus content the adult books geared more toward adults and different content for young adults. Both versions include the brand-new bonus short story, but in addition to that, they also have different interviews with me and a few other things.
I do want to clarify that when I say "adult," I don't mean x-rated. It's just information that adults might find more appealing than young adults. But no matter which edition you get, the story will be the same, the bonus story will be there, and the extra content will be fun and informative. And the cover will be pretty.
So what do you guys think? What's your favorite cover? Mine is probably the YA one for Switched. Or maybe the YA one for Ascend. But I don't know. They're all lovely.
I love the adult Switched one. It's so pretty with the bright orange butterflies. But all of them are pretty.
ReplyDeleteThey all are very nice. Congrats. But I would have to say my fav is the adult one for Switched because orange is my favorite color and I happen to suffer from a strange obsession with butterflies.
ReplyDeleteI think they're all beautiful. The colors in Switched makes it my favorite of the bunch, but they're all exceptional.
ReplyDeleteGreat color scheme. That series will jump off the shelves.
ReplyDeleteI have to say, whoever is in charge of the covers for the US and these, did an amazing job. I'm getting so sick of seeing the same stock art, idea, theme used over and over. I think these are all beautiful and really stand out.
ReplyDeleteWow....first off they are all super gorgeous!! My favorites:
ReplyDeleteSwitched - Adult and YA tie!!
Torn - YA
Ascend - Adult

Love them!!! I like the adult switched and ascend. I like the torn ya. It makes me want to buy them again!
ReplyDeleteThese are terrific. I think I like them more than the US covers.
ReplyDeleteI think the covers are amazing, respectively. But I do have to say that the "adult" set altogether is my favorite! Such a huge fan, and the re- releases of these books just can't come fast enough! <3
ReplyDeleteOMG these are brilliant. I looooooooove them! Especially the last one, the blue one. I looooooooooooooove blue, so it gets extra Os ;)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the blue dandelion of Ascend. It's SUCH a pretty color with that great black-and-white contrast.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove them!
ReplyDeleteCovers look good. You will sell another million copies between them.

The covers are lovely!
ReplyDeleteAll the covers are lovely, but I like the adult Switched better. It pops.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. I like the adult versions of Switched and Ascend best.
ReplyDeleteI like the YA cover for Ascend...Cause it's got blue and that's one of my favorite colors...Very pretty covers!!
ReplyDeleteI like Both the switched ones their awesome!
ReplyDeleteThey look beautiful. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteA Switched and YA Ascend.
ReplyDeleteI just think it's GREAT that you now have books out to put covers on! Way to go, your hard work has paid off in a big way. Love the books, even though I'm 50 years past the young adult age! I've read them all so far and looking forward to more.
ReplyDeleteWow, they're all so beautiful! Favorites are the YA versions of SWITCHED and TORN! :)
ReplyDeleteThey are all beautiful. Love them!
ReplyDeleteAll of the covers are gorgeous. I especially love the YA cover for Switched.
ReplyDeleteI love the covers. It must bet the heck out of designing your own. When we write our books, I love drawing or designing the cover, but it can be a huge amount of work.
ReplyDeleteLove it! The covers are awesome, definitely want adult version.
ReplyDeleteAnd on a personal note my birthday was yesterday. Bught a bunch a books and strolled around.
I like TORN with the red leaves. Good edgy contrast to the murky green background. I also think it's a great idea to expand the readership into the adult trade market. Why not?
ReplyDeleteI like the YA one for Switched the best, but they are all beautiful! I'm so excited for you! Congratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteI am a comic book artist and I like the first one, but all are very good....
ReplyDeleteWhen will Hollowmen be available for itune
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited that you'll have books to put covers on. Side note, more content geared toward "adults." I'm totally interested!!!
ReplyDeleteWill these be the covers for the Australian edition or can we in Australia still get the first covers that we saw? I like these but the first cover reveals were my favourite.
ReplyDeleteThose are gorgeous! I love the colors! I think I like the YA Switched and Ascend best! I'm very excited for the bonus stories!
ReplyDeleteI can't decide. I love them all. Beautiful colours.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful!
ReplyDeletestrange concept, but it sounds logical to gear it towards the two separate audiences
ReplyDeleteBy the way...Love the new profile pic. You have a beautiful smile :)
ReplyDeleteThose new UK covers are amazing.
ReplyDeleteI like them all because of the black/white, purple/white, green/white etc theme with one predominant color. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteThe cover for the United Kingdom look fantastic! That's a great idea to split between the younger and adult audiences, giving them the option for what they want to read.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the 'Adult' versions grab more attention.
ReplyDeleteHaving just gone through some cover selection myself for a book I just launched (see the url attached to my name); I 'd suggest somehow making it clear which versions were for which markets. Because someone will invariably give a gift to someone and learn and fret that they grabbed the wrong one in haste. A "YA-imprint" logo so people can understand the differences in content would help a lot.
The idea is intriguing to offer tailored material to two different markets, but potentially risky. Also, is the publisher spending twice the marketing or just half the marketing each in two places? Which means you'll get twice the shelf space at traditional book stores, or not?

I love the covers!! Both US and UK cover are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI love the covers. Pinned one on Pinterest!
ReplyDeleteFabulously recognisable Amanda Hocking. Even if someone completely random would show these covers to me and your name wasn't there, I would still think you wrote them. It's a marvellous combination of titles and background images that reflect your style.
ReplyDeleteOh these covers are absolutely amazing! I have got to get my hands on all six of these!
ReplyDeleteGreat covers! Especially the orange and gold tones against the black and white images. And yes, the adult covers somehow have more pop.
ReplyDeleteholy crap- this is all SO FREAKING COOL!!!!! i love love love the adult covers the mostest. but they're all amazing, eye catching and super creative! beautiful! what a wonderful life you're getting to live!
ReplyDeletei like the switched cover and I kinda like the torn. The one for Asend isn't my favorite though
