Great site, K. Love the cover, thanks for sending that my way. My question is who designed the cover? I'm guessing you had a lot of input. Did you write the ten reasons to read Merit Badges? Personally, I like lists.

Gina Dubay from the design center at Western Michigan did the cover. Isn't it great? I was able to provide a full creative brief before hand and she too my responses to the various iterations of the design very seriously. For my part, I refrained from any specific suggestions of visuals. As a result, i think i got something better than I could have imagined.

Kim Kolbe, my champion/angel/project manager at New Issues, wrote the Top Ten with a cue from Slow Slocum.
