Erik Mohr

Erik Mohr – Designer

I love books! I am an award-winning artist and art director designing books for international publishers and self-published authors alike.

Overview

I've been designing books for over 15 years. I work closely with authors and publishers to achieve the best cover possible — creating visually compelling and delightfully unexpected interpretations of the authors' stories.

I've created cover illustrations, full cover design and interior pages. Whether you're looking for a punchy cover illustration or a full book design from cover to cover, I can create it for you!

I have worked in a wide range of subject matter including horror, spec fic, non-fiction, literary, young adult fiction and more. I prepare files for traditional printing, Print on Demand (POD) and EPUB formats.

I've worked with the following publishers: Angry Robot Books, ChiZine Publishing, ECW Press, Edge Publishing Fitzhenry & Whiteside, Groundwood Books, Solaris Books, Tor Books, and more.

Collaboration is very important to me and I look forward to working with you on your project.
