Andy Magee – Designer

Hi, I’m Andy, a graphic designer with over 20 years of experience specialising in covers and interiors for fiction and non-fiction books.

Since going freelance in 2006, I’ve worked with publishers including Oxford University Press, Macmillan, Pearson, Wiley-Blackwell, Taylor & Francis, and Scholastic. My background spans trade, educational, academic, scientific, and medical publishing, across both print and digital formats.

I work with established publishers and independent authors, combining thoughtful design with a practical understanding of book production. Whether you need a compelling cover, a carefully crafted interior, or both, I’ll work closely with you to create a book that reflects your vision and connects with your readers.

Since joining Reedsy, I’ve built a strong portfolio of non-fiction covers across subjects including business, psychology, health, history, and philosophy. I also enjoy designing fiction covers, using typography, imagery, and colour to capture a story’s mood and appeal to its audience.

I’m a founding member of Writeful, a creative collective supporting self-publishing authors with editorial, design, and marketing expertise. Alongside publishing, I work on brand identities, marketing materials, websites, and album artwork, bringing a broad creative perspective to my book design work.

I’m used to working to tight deadlines and budgets, and I value clear communication and a collaborative approach throughout the design process.

If you have a project in mind, I’d love to hear about it.
