Flavia Sorrentino – Designer

Illustrator & Letterer | 15+ years experience. Crafting covers and character designs for Middle Grade stories and international publishers.

Overview

I am an Italian illustrator and lettering artist with over 15 years of experience crafting iconic visuals for the global publishing industry. My career has been defined by collaborations with world-leading publishers—including Penguin Random House, Walker Books, and Hachette—and I now bring that same 'Big Five' standard directly to authors on Reedsy.

I specialize in Middle Grade and YA cover design, where I combine original narrative illustration with bespoke, hand-drawn lettering. My goal is to ensure your book doesn't just look professional, but stands out as a high-end production on any physical or digital shelf.

My expertise covers:

Narrative Cover Illustration: High-impact, detailed visuals that capture the heart of your story.

Custom Lettering: Unique, hand-crafted typography that gives your title a distinctive brand identity.

Character Design & Interiors: Consistent and expressive character development to bring your world to life.

I value a professional, detail-oriented workflow and transparent communication. Having worked at the highest levels of the industry, I understand how to tailor artwork to specific audiences and deliver polished, print-ready files from concept to final art.
