Overview
I am a freelance cover designer with over ten years' experience in fiction and non-fiction book publishing.
I am available to work on all aspects of your book's design, from front cover visuals just for eBooks or a complete jacket for print editions.
I have worked on everything from novels to non-fiction biographies and histories, to fully-illustrated coffee table books, children's books and poetry titles. With over a decade's experience in picture research and illustration I can help find the perfect images for your book's cover, as well as being able to create something entirely new should your cover require bespoke illustration, and find just the right typography to really make it stand out.
