A graphic with a split design, featuring an author's photo and name on the left, and a book cover on the right. On the left, a photo of a woman with long brown hair, wearing a dark patterned dress with her arms crossed, is framed by a white border with abstract designs. The text "BREAKING OUT" is written in bold, stylized letters to her right, and "SARAH DANIELS" is written in smaller letters below. The Writer's Digest logo (WD) is in the bottom left corner. On the right, a book cover for "The Only Way Out" by Sarah Daniels is visible. The cover has a dark, smoky teal and black background with the title "THE ONLY WAY OUT" in large, distressed white letters. Below the title, two figures are silhouetted running towards a bright light, with a cityscape and what appears to be a flying object in the background. The tagline "THE REBELLION HAS BEGUN" is below the figures, and the author's name, "SARAH DANIELS," is at the bottom in large white letters, along with "AUTHOR OF THE STRANDED" in smaller text above. The overall design suggests a science fiction or dystopian thriller.
