I'm an author and about to send the manuscript of my second novel to literary agents in the UK and US (you can check out my first on www.beyondthebasin.com). The novel consists of two interwoven narratives, one set in Alexandria in 392 and one set in Nevada in 2050, so what I plan to send them is a 'Wanted' poster on a Roman-style scroll (A4 width but twice as long). The scroll contains an artist's sketch of the main character who is wanted by both the Romans and the US government (the sketch is already done - find attached).
When agents receive it, it will be sealed with a Roman wax seal. Once it's opened and unfurled, the top half should be a Roman 'Wanted' poster which is entirely in Latin (you will need to find an appropriate font that looks like script) with the sketch in the centre of the text.
The lower half of the scroll is the US government Wanted poster from 2050, which has English copy, the same sketch of the character but with a very different layout and physical attributes including height, weight, last known whereabouts etc. I'll provide all copy, but you will need to find an appropriate fonts. Examples of real-life US Wanted posters are attached for reference but it doesn't have to follow that exact format - also check out: http://www.spiritoftruth.org/images/yasin.gif
Within the US section is a call to action to direct the agents to the first 3 chapters which I will have emailed them in most cases(i.e 'check your inbox for important information regarding this man, or get in touch with me)
Maybe the biggest design challenge will be to make sure that both the Roman and the US Wanted posters look good together on the same scroll, and that they both look authentic and not cheesy. What does an 'authentic' Wanted poster look like in 2050? That's up to you - I'll provide guidance, give you an idea of the plot and tone of the novel - you're also welcome to read the manuscript but that isn't essential.
Deliverables: The design of the poster in a high resolution and a format that I can send to professional printers. I'll take care of the wax and the seal, and I'll provide all the copy.
