"I envisioned the cover as a bold and attention-grabbing design that would reflect the book's practical and actionable approach. The bold 3D typography, with its contrasting bright colours, creates a sense of energy and momentum, inviting readers to discover the secrets to building a successful start-up."

The Fruit You'll Never See

Gail Brenner Nastasia

Designed by Vanessa M.

Available to hire ⏺

"The cover is a minimalist yet powerful design that reflects the book's themes of hidden pain and resilience. The image of two hands holding a delicate flower, partially obscured by darkness, symbolises the hidden secrets and emotions that the protagonist struggles to confront. The contrasting colours and stark typography create a sense of tension and mystery, inviting readers to delve deeper into the story."

The Case of the Missing Cheese

Lisa C. Mitchell

Designed by Caitlin B. A.

Available to hire ⏺

"For this Middle Grade, the author and I wanted to find the right balance of whimsy and mystery 一 nothing too "kiddy" and nothing too scary. The carnival is an important setting in the book, and this audience usually responds well to character-based covers, so I put together a narrative image that included enigmatic body language with slightly discordant but vibrant colors that aligns with the genre while still intriguing the reader to find out more."

Blue Van Winkle

Nathaniel David Knox

Designed by Hugh C.

Available to hire ⏺

"The book is about a multiple perspective family saga with elements of crime, suspense, and romance. The different windows show each character and hints at aspects of the narrative without overtly giving anything anyway. Working closely with the author who wanted a cover that is minimalist and retro but with contrast and texture - the design is inspired by futurist and Art Deco graphic design and the limited sombre colour palette conveys melancholy, hope and a tad bit of danger."

Gingered

Ryan G. Murphy

Designed by Vanessa M.

Available to hire ⏺

"I wanted the cover to really capture the book's fun and heart-warming vibe, reflecting the author's personal journey. The playful typography and bright colours create a sense of excitement, and the photo of the author as a ginger-haired kid sets the stage for the relatable and entertaining stories inside. Overall, the design invites readers to dive into his nostalgic and humorous adventures."

"I wanted the cover to be a whimsical and eye-catching representation of the book’s unique blend of Irish charm and Hollywood dreams. The image of an Oscar trophy, adorned with a traditional Irish leprechaun hat, immediately sets the tone for the story. I believe this cover effectively communicates the book’s light-hearted and aspirational tone, inviting readers to join the protagonist on his unforgettable journey."

Dreamer's Folly

A. Samuel Bales

Designed by Alejandro C.

Available to hire ⏺

"This cover invites readers to follow a child on his quest, encouraging discovery through the story. We walk with him through medieval streets filled with characters and background micro-stories. The street-level perspective draws us into his adventures. The dark tower in the distance, symbolizing danger, is strategically placed and interwoven with the title's letters, adding a hook to spark interest in the story."

Yours in Amsterdam

Reyna Starlette

Designed by My Lan K.

Available to hire ⏺

"The cover highlights the two main characters with subtle elements that reveal the story's setting in Amsterdam in a style that aligns with contemporary romance trends. I added soft textures to the characters' clothes for depth, and a script font for the title evokes a handwritten letter. To hint at the plot, I included a bruise on the female character’s knee, reflecting how they meet after she falls off her bike, and used expression, pose, and outfits to showcase their personalities."

Where The Stars Hide

Patricia Gulzar

Designed by Madli S.

Available to hire ⏺

"The author of this magical YA fantasy had a clear vision for the cover—an illustration combining a close-up portrait of the young protagonist and a futuristic cityscape with a strong red glow. After discussing the storyline, we finalized a concept and color palette that best represents the narrative. The goal was to create a dark, mysterious illustration with intense eye contact from the main character, designed to captivate the target audience."

I Had to Break Me

Nisha

Designed by Nuno M.

Available to hire ⏺

"Nisha’s poems are reflective and expansive, exploring a range of themes. To capture this, the cover design centers around the idea of an unfinished brushstroke, symbolizing openness and exploration. Multiple brushstrokes interact with the book's title, integrating organically with the text layout. The phrase “Break Me” in the title serves as the conceptual anchor, creating a bold and visually striking design that is both raw and arresting."

A Cold Night for Alligators

Viggy Hampton

Designed by Nuno M.

Available to hire ⏺

"The hand-drawn, distressed calligraphy on this cover conveys a sense of danger and primal energy. The rawness of this approach, combined with the looming red alligator tail, suggests an untamed, suspenseful story. The tail runs diagonally across the cover, creating dynamic movement that complements the title. Its curve guides the viewer’s eye from the upper right to the lower left, pulling the reader into the action, as if they’re being drawn into the alligator's grasp."

$ix Figure Tradesman

Elysia Gloudeman

Designed by Vanessa M.

Available to hire ⏺

"I wanted the cover to be a visual representation of the book’s core message: that with the right tools and mindset, anyone can achieve financial success in the trades. The golden wrench symbolises the practical, hands-on approach, while the clean, professional design reflects the book’s focus on building a sustainable business."

Toska

Elizabeth C Cabrera

Designed by Danna M. S.

Available to hire ⏺

"The book is about a woman navigating adulthood. We used florals to symbolize her 'blooming beautifully' into it, with the crack representing the challenge of 'keeping it together.' The heavier serif title font, common in fiction, is balanced by the unique cover image and florals winding through the text. The contrast between the woman's cracked face and the beauty of the florals adds a unique, fun element. I also used texture in the title for cohesion and chose an unexpected title color."

The Tears of Apphat

Alain Louis Camus

Designed by Arjan v. W.

Available to hire ⏺

"The author and I aimed to give this book cover a cinematic feel, like a movie poster, full of atmosphere while showcasing the main character. The story is set in a fictional desert world with Arabic influences, which is expressed mainly in the typography. The subtle sacred geometry in the sky references the magical aspect of the story. These geometric designs reappear at the start of each chapter, creating a cohesive and unified design throughout the entire book."

Beyond The Moon

Catherine Taylor

Designed by Vanessa M.

Available to hire ⏺

"The cover features a stunning image that captures the book's themes of time travel and love. The beautiful portrait of the woman set against a war-torn landscape adds a layer of mystery. The overlapping elements and contrasting colours symbolise the connection between the past and present, inviting readers to dive into this captivating story."

Enough

Jon Douglas

Designed by Euan M.

Available to hire ⏺

"The brief for ‘Enough.’ called for a “clean, crisp, and straight to the point” cover. This was understandable, since these are features of many of the best tech-related covers, and so the challenge at the core of this project was to balance the tech aesthetic with elements that reflected the thoughtful psychology that runs through the book. This was accomplished primarily through the use of a warmer colour palette, which was also applied to create a unique wordmark for the title."

Aqua Paws

Patricia Allieri

Designed by Stella M.

"The approach for this cover was to blend two distinct worlds—above and below water, reflecting the cat's everyday life and his adventure destination—in a playful yet serene way. The goal was to create an atmosphere that highlights the cat's curiosity and the underwater scene, with an environmental theme. Textured typography ensures the title is always legible while being playfully integrated into the illustration. Also, the contrasting colors capture kids' attention and make the cover dynamic."

The Climate Crisis

Miguel Angel Rondon Segura

Designed by Jonas P.

Available to hire ⏺

"The book discusses how fossil fuels, despite being maligned today, can aid in transitioning to a cleaner world. The goal was to create a clean, simple image with a strong graphic element. A blooming flower from an oil well was chosen to represent this idea, integrated with the title to highlight the climate crisis. A color gradient was used across the author's name, title, illustration, and subtitle, symbolizing the planet's temperature change while tying together the flower and oil well."

Awoken

KT Cornelio

Designed by Richard L.

Available to hire ⏺

"Awoken immerses readers in the lives of highly sensitive characters, diverse in age, race, gender, ability, sexuality, and even species. The novel follows parallel timelines, and the visual solution was to use the title letters as canvases, displaying fragments of these scenes while forming one unified character when viewed as a whole. Straddling the line between sci-fi and literary fiction, the design reflects this duality, capturing the novel's complexity and depth."

The Wood and The Trees

P. G. Davies

Designed by Mark T.

Available to hire ⏺

"The design was drawn from ideas of the UK’s corporate culture business and personal excesses of the mid 1980s. The imagery of a paint-daubed Neoclassical statue is a nod toward the financial market background of the main character. The rugby ball has ties to the same character’s sporting background. Basically: work hard, play hard. The typography is cool and considered. The green colour scheme has a playful Penguin-esque vibe."

Struck Inside Out

Danielle Bertoli

Designed by Richard L.

"This book is about creating magic in your everyday life, letting go of experiences that no longer serve you, and honoring every step of your journey, no matter where you currently stand. The visual solution became to incorporate elements that were important to the author and the story, while creating an overall magical and inspirational mood."

The Test For Time

Craig A. Czuchna

Designed by Devin W.

Available to hire ⏺

"The author of this sci-fi-meets-dark-academia book wanted to see the story's two main characters on the cover, but divided by spans of time and space. I used double exposure photography mixed with glitchy visual elements to create a surreal movie poster style cover, and really let the book title placement create separation in the design."

The 38 Impossible Loves of Naoko Nishizawa

Monna McDiarmid

Designed by Caitlin B. A.

Available to hire ⏺

"For this YA novel, the author wanted to emphasize the relationship between these two characters, which was in line with common visual themes in the genre. The friendship is at the center of the story, so I was sure to use body language that showed a comfortability and closeness, and we wanted to be sure to spend a lot of time getting the features of each character correct, emphasizing the uniqueness of the girls, despite their uniforms."

America Together in 2024

Kevin M Thelen

Designed by Richard L.

Available to hire ⏺

"This book is about America coming together and figuring out a path through the maze that is the current political climate of the “United” States. The design is meant to suggest exactly that."

Gitmo and Back Again

Glenn Fisher

Designed by Caitlin B. A.

Available to hire ⏺

"The author initially envisioned a ship crashing into a sailboat or icebergs adorned with peace signs, reflecting the story of a young man in the 1970s eager to escape his small town and join the revolutionary events shaping his country. To bring the 1970s counter-culture concept to life without falling into clichés, I opted for a collage-style design. Instead of the overused peace signs, I "cut" the icebergs from a psychedelic print, balancing clear messaging with a fresh, original aesthetic."

All Good Quests

Joe Graber

Designed by Devin W.

Available to hire ⏺

"This book tells a dynamic adventure tale that takes place in a lot of different locations, and the author wanted to feature these elements on the cover. I invoked a travel post illustration style to collage parts of the story into the design and used a textured font to match the type with the illustration. I love the interaction of the main character with the book title in this design."
