This is the third book cover Asya has created for us and we have been thrilled each time with her creativity and talent. There's always a bit of back and forth with such projects when separated by distance, but she has always been quick in replying and it always culminates in a great cover. Thank you for all of your time and consideration, Asya!

Dean - It has been a pleasure collaborating with you on 3 books. Obviously, we understand each other. :) I'm so happy that we can continue our working relationship so successfully.

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.

This is the third project I've done with Asya. She's my go-to for cover design, print and epub design.

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!
