Jack was genuinely interested in providing a cover that fit my expectations. He asked many questions about what I wanted as well as making insightful suggestions on what would be aesthetically pleasing to my audience.
He always came across as personable.
I never had to wait long for his responses.
And his artwork exceeded my expectations.
I have only good things to say about him.
Daniel Seward, March 2023
Jack was great to work with! He made sure he knew what I was wanting before starting and kept in touch often. He's incredibly talented, and I'm very happy with the results. I plan on working with him again for the remaining books in my series.

can not decide on the size of paperback (number of pages). Hope a slight adjustment can be done as requested later on.
