VISITING COMPOSER by Andrea Avery has a cover! We are thrilled to share the 2024 Novella Contest winner’s cover with you all, designed by Jeff Clark’s Crisis Studio.

“Andrea Avery's VISITING COMPOSER is a fast, spooky, quietly devastating, paradoxically animating read. Her characters are reaching beyond a linear world of space and time, and the patriarchy that has determined its perimeters, for beauty, art, and connection stripped of their modern baggage. Whether they fully become or must abandon themselves in the process is the heart of the mystery of this elegant, haunting book.”
––Bonnie Nadzam, author of LAMB and LIONS and co-author of LOVE IN THE ANTHROPOCENE

For those waiting anxiously to hear about our 2025 novella winner, we’ll have news soon! Stay tuned!
