I am very fortunate to have been able to work with Asya Blue as the book and cover designer for my first foray into self-publishing. In addition to being artistically talented, Asya has throughout the process been flexible, patient, and good-humored. We went through several rounds of cover design and some modifications once a selection was made. Adjustments in the original book design were ma...

I have worked with many so-called professionals to date, but Asya Blue is by far the best in terms of creativity, responsiveness, and overall excellence. If I could have given her six stars instead of five, I would most certainly have done so! The cover she did for my novel was absolutely amazing, and working with her has been a truly wonderful experience.
Asya B.
Thank you! I'm glad you were so happy with the service and the results.

I had a good experience working with Asya. She corrected everything I asked, no matter how small or strange a request. She did a great job working with the illustrations I commissioned from someone else for my covers and tastefully added beautiful typography: And it was all done within a relatively short amount of time! I would definitely consider returning for future projects.
Asya B.
Thank you Shelly for being so organized and a great collaborator. I really enjoyed working with you and wish you all the best with the book. Here's to many more!

Asya Bella graciously stepped in on short notice when I was in a bind and designed the interior of my book with elegance and mastery. Her talent and artistry resulted in an exceptional book design.
