Hi, Pete, haven't run across you in awhile (since Key to Uncle Tom). I'll be glad to help you via PM figuring out the ropes on your first cover. Wow, a solo! That's exciting news!

First step is to preclaim the cover - you need to be the soloist or BC for a group project.
I'll do it for you this time but next time please quote the project number (if you hover over the admin button under the MW it will show)

Read the first post in this thread to find out about cover making, then ask if you have questions.

caught - and linked. Just for the records - you are releasing your photo into the Public Domain?

I've used photos of mine and various family members and I usually just add a "PD photo" to the description

Wanted to report that the cover for George Dandin by Moliere has a typo (the surname is incorrectly spelled "Dardin" instead of "Dandin").

oops - loaded the wrong one
