Dare to Dream Radio and Television
I run a multi-award winning, syndicated radio show called "Dare to Dream." I've written a book, by the same name, to also help people to achieve their goals, and dreams-come-true.
Dare to Dream Radio enlightens and entertains listeners in an exciting, new paradigm that intertwines metaphysics with a talk show format. It’s a show that’s key and much needed during this time of great change and potential challenges and great wins. People are looking for the light, moving towards a new way of living and doing business and at its core finding ways to make their passions, goals and dreams come true.
Please design my book cover. It is a paperback. Trim Size: 5.5" x 8.5" (13.97 x 21.59 cm)
* ALSO NOTE: I WILL CHOOSE A DESIGN FROM ONE OF YOU!
**NEW ADDITION: To Whomever wins this design - I will give you credit in the book. Your name will appear in the first pages of the book as follows: "Book Cover Design By: X"

===========================================
Attached please find the first 23 pages of my book to get a feel for its content. I've also attached a photo of me for the back cover.
The inside of the book is black and white, therefore I'd like the cover to be in color. I have tons of men who follow my radio show as well as women, so nothing too "girlie" rather something that appeals to both mean and women.
I'd also like to receive the finished product saved and given in 2 formats: PDF and JPG.
Feel free to submit what your design intuition tells you to, and also submit more than one and think out of the box. Let "Dare to Dream" be your Muse!
