My Lan Khuc – Designer

I am a book cover artist with a wide range of styles and who loves anything fantasy and whimsical.

Overview

Hola! My name is My Lan and I am a designer and illustrator with a special love for book covers (which is not surprising seeing that I grew up being an absolute bookworm).


I specialize in fantasy, YA and Rom-Coms but I am open to any interesting projects that require breathtaking illustrations.


Working with me would look a bit like this:


1) You tell me about your book and what you envision on the cover. If you don't have any specific ideas I will be happy to make suggestions. I then will be able to create a quote for the project.


2) I start brainstorming and give you 2-3 initial composition ideas, from which you can pick a favourite and tweak as you see more convenient. Don't like any of the initial concepts? Don't worry! Just letting me know what doesn't work will allow me to create new ones closer to what you are looking for.


3) My goal is for you to fall in love with your cover so you will have the chance to give feedback throughout the process and request any changes needed in the illustration.


4) Oh wow! This is it, your cover is as fantastic as you were hoping. Now is time to deliver the final files, I will provide you with:

- Ebook cover (JPEG)

- Paperback/Hardback (PDF)

- Editable files (PSD), only if requested, at no extra charge.

AI is not involved in any step of production. All my illustrations are completely original and custom-made for clients.

My Lan is an extraordinarily RARE blend of clear communication, professionalism, warmth, and artistic talent. She created a stunning interior map for my fantasy novel, and I immediately hired her for the cover design as well. Even more than her talent for both art + graphic design, she was able to interpret my scattered writer-brain into an absolute-perfect representation of my book and charact...

I am so glad I chose to work with My Lan for my first self published novel- I had a great experience throughout the process. She immediately understood the tone and style I was going for based on my brief and cover inspirations. Her sketch updates were provided promptly, her communication was clear and friendly, and my feedback was always taken onboard. I'm really happy with the final ebook cov...

My Lan was a pleasure to work with. The entire process was just so cool. I had an idea of what I wanted my book to look like, but I decided to see where her artistic vision took it. I am so glad I did. She knocked it out of the park! At each step, she'd give me options to choose from: color, design, font. It was so much fun, watching my cover come to life. And not only is she talented, but she...

I cannot recommend My Lan enough! Her collaborative approach and beautiful art style were perfect for my project. This is my first time self-publishing, and she was kind, patient, and helpful. I am so pleased with the cover she created for Season of Fire and would definitely hire her again.
