Redesigning Undercover

The end of the year is (frighteningly) nearly upon us. 

And what a crazy year it's been. Since we launched the Undercover blog, we've driven round London in white vans delivering books to schools; we ran a blog hunt for extra Cassie Clare material, and have a number of blog tours under our belt. Plus, a couple of the Undercover team had their acting debut along with Peter Cocks in the Long Reach trailer.

But it's all paid off, because Undercover is continuing in 2012, and we're going to be developing the blog into a fully fledged website, which is pretty exciting!

BUT...before we let our creative juices run away from us, we'd love to know what you would like to see on the Undercover site. Any thoughts on how it should look, what sort of areas you'd like to see? Messageboards, competition areas, etc?

We'd also love to know what sort of content you're interested in. Do you like our trailers? Do you want more digital covers, like the Daylight Saving one? More countdown clocks, or other nifty widgets you can embed and share?

Lastly, what sort of things would you like to see us writing about on the blog next year? More behind the scenes posts from authors? How about a bit more from our editors, cover designers, publicists and marketeers about everything that goes into making and promoting books.

Simply comment on this post to let us know your thoughts. Anyone who does so before 22nd December will be thrown into a prize draw for a copy of an Undercover book of your choice!

    Day in the life posts are always good. I would love to see the day in the life from a staff point of view. Also when an author pops in - take lots of pictures and put them on here. Book signings too.

    I love trailers and am using them on a daily basis in the school library. They really help generate more enthusiasm among the teens for books.
    Widgets are also really helpful for us reviewers to squee over the books even more ;D
