Overview

COVERS • INTERIOR FORMATTING • ILLUSTRATIONS • MAPS

🙋‍♀️ Hi there! I’m a book designer with 8+ years of experience helping authors and publishers bring their stories to life. Whether you need a stunning cover, beautifully formatted interior, custom illustrations, or detailed maps, I’m here to help make your book stand out. I’ve worked across all kinds of genres: fiction, romance, poetry, children's books, fantasy, experimental works, and more! No matter the topic, I’ll help turn your idea into something truly special.

Book Covers 📘

A cover is the first thing readers see, so it needs to capture the heart of your story. I take the time to fully understand your vision and combine different techniques—photo manipulation, 3D rendering, and illustration—to create a design that truly represents your book. They say, "Don’t judge a book by its cover," but let’s be honest… we all do!

Interior Formatting 📖

I design interiors that are easy to read while reflecting the tone and style of your work. Whether it’s a novel, poetry collection, or picture book, your pages will look polished and professional.

Illustrations & Maps ✏️

I specialize in illustrations for adult fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, crafting visuals that elevate your story’s atmosphere. From elegant line drawings and intricate fantasy maps to expressive watercolor scenes and detailed symbols, each artwork is illustrated to complement your book.

Pricing 💰

• Covers start at €300

• Illustrations start at €50

• Maps start at €200

Work Process & Scheduling 📢

❗️ Booking & Timelines:

• I recommend booking at least 8 weeks in advance (or more, depending on schedule availability).

• Projects typically take a minimum of 6 weeks, with two payments: 40% upfront and 60% upon completion.

• New projects usually start and finish on a Monday.

❗️ Communication:

• I’m based in Europe (CET timezone), so replies may take a bit longer if you’re in a different part of the world.

• To keep things smooth and organized, I communicate via messages only (no video calls).

• I check messages twice a week in order of arrival, so please be patient, as sending multiple messages may delay my response.

• I don’t check messages on weekends.

❗️ Project Updates:

• I send updates once a week (Monday or Tuesday).

• Quick follow-ups are usually sent a few days after receiving your feedback.

If you have any questions about my process or want to chat about your book, feel free to reach out; I’d love to hear from you! 😊
