Tor Constantino - The Daily Retort

Help Pick My Next Book Cover!

I’m in the final stages of finishing my third e-book that will be titled something like 101 Text Messages Your Teenager Does NOT Want You to Know.

The inspiration for the book came from the popularity and overwhelming feedback I received on a series of blog posts I’ve written for The Daily ReTORt regarding various texting phrases that parents need to know.

During that series for this blog, I’ve shared 40 troubling text phrases.

I’ve since found another 61 that I’ll share in the book, which will be available on Amazon within the next few weeks.

I’ll let you know when it’s available.

In the meantime, below are the three final cover treatments that I’m considering for this upcoming e-book.

I’m curious to find out which of the three designs (color scheme, layout and font) you like the best – knowing that the title has not been finalized.

Please reply in the comment section below as to which you prefer: blue, red or yellow – also, is this a book topic that you’d want to read about?

I really appreciate your perspective and value your opinion – thanks so much!

Here’s the first version…..

Here’s the second for consideration…

…and here’s the last version.
