Ian Koviak – Designer

With 25+ years in book design, I’ve worked with major publishers and hundreds of indie authors and small presses. I handle both cover and interior design, with a sharp eye on not just how a book looks—but how it performs in the real world.

My portfolio spans almost every genre: cookbooks, photography, art, architecture, self-help, business, memoir, thrillers, fantasy, sci-fi, poetry, YA, children’s books, academic works, literary fiction—you name it. I’m especially drawn to complex, visual-heavy projects that involve layered editorial layouts, sidebars, photography, and structured storytelling.

I know the publishing process inside and out—from concept and design to print production, eBook formatting, and audiobook packaging. I’m fast, responsive, and clear in my communication. Most projects are completed within 2–6 weeks, depending on the scope, and I’m happy to answer questions along the way.

I regularly help clients prep and upload files for platforms like KDP and IngramSpark and can walk you through the technical steps so nothing gets lost in the weeds. No jargon, no confusion—just straight answers and solid results.

I’ve worked with authors all over the world, and I bring a culturally aware, market-savvy lens to every project. The goal is simple: a professionally designed book that feels true to your vision and stands out on both shelves and screens.

A book isn’t just a product—it’s a visual expression of your work. Good design builds trust, draws readers in, and elevates everything on the page. Whether this is your first or your fiftieth, I’m here to make sure it looks as good as it reads.
