Winners Announced: The First Ever FiiP.net Contest

We did it. The very first FiiP.net contest is officially in the books, and the talent showed up BIG.

Book covers have one job: stop the scroll.

These winners did exactly that.

Thank you to every author who entered, and to everyone who cheered them on. You helped launch something we plan to keep building, contest by contest.

Grand Prize Winner

Ticket to Romance

 by 

Thanh Nguyen

  

This one feels like a warm light in a busy world. It’s a romantic, reflective story that leans into timing, choice, and the kind of “what if” moment that can reroute a whole life. A man, on the morning of his wedding, looks back on a train ride that became far more than a simple trip, especially after meeting Rose, a café owner with a spark you can’t ignore. 

If you like romance with heart, memory, and a slow-burn pull, this is your ride.

Runner Ups

These books earned their spots by doing what great books do: clear genre signals, strong focal point, clean readability at thumbnail size, and a “click me” vibe that doesn’t beg, it dares.

Next Up: The “Scroll Stopping Book Covers” Contest

Let’s do it again, and let’s do it bigger.

This next contest is all about Scroll Stopping Book Covers, meaning:

• Your cover pops even as a tiny thumbnail
• The title is readable fast
• The design matches the genre’s expectations (while still feeling fresh)
• The vibe is instant: “I know what kind of story this is”
• The cover makes a reader pause, then click

Because let’s be honest. Readers don’t “browse.” They scroll like it’s an Olympic sport.

Want in?

Quick tips to help your cover compete harder

• Test it small. If the title dies at thumbnail size, it’s a problem.
• One clear focal point beats five “cool” elements every time.
• Contrast is not optional. It’s the whole game.
• If your cover doesn’t scream the right genre, you’re forcing confusion, and confusion doesn’t sell.

If you’ve got a cover you’re proud of, or one you want to prove can hang with the best, get it entered.
