Overview
Iam a freelance book cover designer with over ten years experience of working with most of the UK book publishers and many in the USA. I started at HarperCollins where I worked for 8 years and I went to Orion Books where I became art director. Since then I have built up Nick Castle Design to be a successful name and source of quality book cover design.
I have worked on many mass market fiction covers including titles by Robert Ludlum, Michael Dobbs and Michael Robotham. I have designed the covers for New York Times bestselling author Jayne Ann Krentz since 2009 and I have also worked on a number of books by Nora Roberts. I have worked on many saga and Illustrated women's fiction titles and also worked in literary fiction designing for EL Doctorow and Iain Banks.
