Because First Impressions Really Do Matter…

How important, in this modern world, is that first communication of your work? What will make a person pick up your book? Compel someone to buy your book? How do you grab their attention to stand out above all the other books on a webpage, on a table, or a bookstore shelf? When a potential reader does not know who you are, the book cover is your first chance in making a great impression.

What do you want your book cover to be?

What feeling or mood should it elicit?

What message or story should your cover convey?

All these questions are paramount to designing a quality cover—one that communicates what is most important to the story within.

A Few of My Cover Designs

Design Process & Options

I design book covers on several levels, each element, skill and the creative imagination determine creative value; a sliding scale of sorts. The book’s content, the stories, your input, all the visual imagery required and where/how it is sourced, will determine the final cover image. I’m happy to work with art or photography supplied by the author, employ sourced stock images, or create custom illustration and/or photography to create the perfect book cover. 

Above all, it is important to me that you are proud of your book, cover to cover, and want to share it with the world. It is my intention to create the cover with and for you, but also to ensure the cover helps the book to entice and reach its intended audience.
