Candice Broersma – Designer

A professionally illustrated book cover brings a creative touch, helping your novel stand out in the marketplace. I have 10+ years of experience designing and illustrating the fantastical and cherish every story that I can help bring to life.

I take the time to understand your novel and give all my clients 3 sketches, revisions, and a highly polished book cover that will stand the test of time. I do not use stock photos or AI, resulting in artwork that is one-of-a-kind. Covers are drawn digitally by hand with a tablet and stylus using classical painting methods of building light and shadow. I put a priority on world-building, compositional balance, and professional quality. Each cover is a premium piece of artwork that stands on its own in addition to being an effective marketing medium.

The process begins with 3 cover concepts to explore different approaches. With the approved concept, we move on to 2 rounds of revision. The final sketch will have typography and composition in place, so there are no surprises between the preliminary stage and final polished design. I design covers with the appropriate genre elements plus a dash of fresh ideas so your book can thrive.

My artwork is ethically designed and created without the use of generative AI. Your hand-made book cover has legal protections as a human-created work, ensuring the security of your commissioned cover into the future.
