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 blonde hair, wearing a black turtleneck sweater, is framed by a white border with abstract designs. The text "BREAKING OUT" is written in bold, stylized letters to her right, and "LAUREN J. A. BEAR" 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 "Mother of Rome" by Lauren J. A. Bear is visible. The cover has a warm color palette of reds, oranges, and yellows, with a mosaic-like design featuring wolves and a profile silhouette of a woman with long dark hair. The title "MOTHER of ROME" is prominently displayed in a stylized font. Above the title, it reads "THEY THREW THE WRONG WOMAN TO THE WOLVES." The author's name, "LAUREN J. A. BEAR," is at the bottom, along with "AUTHOR OF MEDUSA'S SISTERS." The overall design suggests a historical or mythological narrative.
