Sons of Man

Phillip Lawrence

Designed by Jonathan H.

Available to hire ⏺

"The novel is set in the hills of Appalachia, which I wanted to feel ominous and potentially lethal, aligning with the book’s military themes. The huge, blocky title reinforces a sense of oppression and brutality. Appalachia is often shown as peaceful; here, a blood-red palette, heavy filtering, and visible grain replace serenity with unease. Instead of restrained debut typography, I chose a bold, vertical treatment with maximum contrast to deliver real weight and impact."

Enough to Rise

Jenn M. Choi

Designed by Caerus K.

Available to hire ⏺

"Enough to Rise is both a memoir and personal growth book by life coach Jenn M. Choi. Wanting to share more of herself with current and future clients, Jenn draws on her own life experiences to help readers reflect on their personal stories and use them as tools for growth. Like many memoir covers, the design balances expressive art with intimacy, featuring a phoenix to symbolize rebirth and honor Jenn’s cultural heritage."

Take Your Lead

Richard S. Dillard and Brian G. Dillard

Designed by Caerus K.

Available to hire ⏺

"Take Your Lead is for leaders who know the platitudes of ‘good’ leadership but seek deeper, empathy-driven insight to elevate their impact. Given the book’s rich content, Richard and I chose a clean, light palette to keep the design mature, offset by an uplifting blue to stand out among business titles. The figure moves not to a peak, but toward higher ground and the warmth of sunrise, symbolizing growth through humanity."

Emails to Fellow Sinners

Daniel Tiernan

Designed by Alexander N.

Available to hire ⏺

"This cover design is a rare case of an idea arriving effortlessly while I was reading the book. Daniel’s book is a collection of fictional emails sent to unknown recipients, exploring character through subtext rather than plot. I wanted the cover to suggest a cast of distinct voices, while the tile-style typography nods to the writing’s wry, comic tone. Daniel is a returning client, and our strong rapport played a big role in the cover’s success."

The Padrone

Solomon Hill

Designed by Arjan V.

Available to hire ⏺

"This cover design was created for a 1920s prohibition-era crime novel centred on a mobster. The approach prioritised simplicity while maintaining strong visual impact. The shattered glass effect serves dual purposes—it immediately suggests gunfire and violence, while the radiating crack pattern mirrors the intricate network of criminal connections and influence that emanates from the crime boss at the story's heart."

Inquies

Charles Nabbout

Designed by Steve O.

Available to hire ⏺

“The cover uses stark imagery and negative space to mirror psychological tension and isolation, placing a lone figure beneath an oppressive landscape shaped by grief and moral weight. I leaned into a graphic, minimalist approach common in contemporary literary fiction, drawing on the existential visual language of Albert Camus and Franz Kafka. Exaggerated scale, white space, and gritty textures echo the novel’s inner world.”

Indifferent Universe

Joseph Blackhurst

Designed by Vanessa M.

Available to hire ⏺

"The cover feels playful, chaotic, and a bit unhinged. The hand drawn type and bold illustration match the A.I.’s ironic, intrusive voice. It signals a strange, funny, and slightly unsettling novel about art, humanity, and meaning."

The Napper

Linh Luu

Designed by Zuza M.

Twelve and a Half Summers

Ria Charya

Designed by Zuchal R.

Available to hire ⏺

"From the outset, Ria wanted a laid-back, cozy, homey feel. The goal was to invite readers into the container house and the characters’ everyday life. I showed them doing simple, intimate activities—baking and reading—anchored in a backyard container home that grounds the story in closeness and routine. Vibrant yet balanced tones keep the cover engaging while preserving a calm, welcoming mood."

Just Nod If You Can Hear Me

Life: An Unofficial Guide to the Hit Video Game

Halim Nassar

Designed by Vanessa M.

Available to hire ⏺

"The cover meant to feel like a start screen or status menu, with progress meters, pixel icons, and simple prompts. It frames life as something you play, not something you need to fix. At a glance, the idea is clear, this is a guide to the game of life, using visual language people already recognise from games."

The Museum of Morality

S. Laraia

Designed by Alexander N.

Available to hire ⏺

"The Museum of Morality is set in a converted Victorian schoolhouse whose layout carries clear metaphorical weight. Silvia and I agreed the building itself should drive the design. Each level houses an experiment or artefact of moral philosophy, which I translated into simple, bold illustrations. The goal was to create intrigue by hinting at key story elements, while the winding snake echoes the central character and her quiet influence over the narrative."

Mr. Bangles Causes a Ruckus

Allyson Jannotta

Designed by Kathy L.

Available to hire ⏺

"Mr. Bangles Causes a Ruckus follows a robin who loves waking up early to sing his heart out—much to the neighborhood’s dismay. As he plays new instruments, dons wilder outfits, and sings louder each day, chaos ensues. The cover puts his playful personality front and center, with a bright, simple background and bold, easy-to-read fonts that echo his noisy antics."

Ophelia

Zephyr Trails

Nicki Ehrlich

Designed by Danna Mathias S.

Available to hire ⏺

"The book is a sequel to Ellis River, so I wanted to create a cohesive and branded look while still providing a unique and eye-catching image. The title reflects the gold of the grass, paired against the striking dark sky to help it pop at thumbnail size. "

The Art of Obsession

Douglas J. Ostling

Designed by Danna Mathias S.

Available to hire ⏺

"The author provided the intriguing cover art, done by his artist son 一 so our goal was to lay the cover out in a way that didn't compete with the art as a focal point. I created a unique cropping of the artwork, and utilized the Z-pattern text layout method to guide the eye from the artwork through the text in a clean, non-obtrusive way."

Young Gun In New York

Eddie McBoon

Designed by Roderick B.

Available to hire ⏺

"The cover was designed to evoke a sense of intrigue, placing the character into a well defined setting. Mood above all else. Aesthetically, I was obviously going for a noir feel, but with a modern twist (in its style). The angled smoke plumes in the distance and the smoke from his cigarette to give a bit of movement and dynamism to what could have been too static a scene."

The Happiness Handbook

Dr. Ken Harmon and Ashley Harmon-Poston

Designed by Alan H.

Available to hire ⏺

"The cover centers on a primitive yet contemporary sun symbol—disarming, playful, and carefree. Its bright palette suggests happiness is accessible through small mindset shifts, available right now. The design feels market-aware rather than showy, pairing uplifting colors and playful illustration with clean, upmarket typography. The intentionally imperfect sun stays human and approachable, while restrained, spacious type lets the image breathe. Simple, confident, and unfussy."

Dreaming of North Beach (from Corporate America)

Deno Gell

Designed by Victoria H.

Available to hire ⏺

"The author wanted a nod to San Francisco, and the idea of using the Golden Gate Bridge emerged early on. But these poems are irreverent and often moving, and so, to reflect those elements, I created an inky sketch of the bridge set against a large abstract “sun” in a bridge-like hue. The result is light, minimal, and deliberately unpolished."

Live

Jada Dorsey

Designed by Sofía S.

Available to hire ⏺

"My approach to illustration focuses on vibrant color palettes, beautiful character depictions and striking compositions. My painting technique, while entirely digital, recreates the look of traditional paintings, as I strive to create everything from scratch, without shortcuts. The result is an appealing fusion of classic fantasy covers and contemporary aesthetics, which undoubtedly leaves readers intrigued."

Eterno

Roberto Scaccia

Designed by Nuno M.

Available to hire ⏺

"This cover exudes elegance and sophistication, with a sumi-e–style illustration whose delicate brushstrokes convey movement and fluidity. The contrast between the purple snake and cream background creates visual impact, while the vertical title aligns with the snake’s head for balance. The design evokes softness and vulnerability through subtle, deliberate shapes."

Wall Street’s Blind Spots

Jose Mayora

Designed by Vanessa M.

Available to hire ⏺

"We wanted the cover to feel bold and smart, so I used a deep navy background with clean white text to give it that confident Wall Street look. The golden bull is the classic market symbol, but I added a blindfold to capture the book’s main idea about missing what’s right in front of you. The touch of gold keeps it polished and professional, while the layout stays simple so the message comes through straight away."

Dalia Does a Mitzvah

Jenna D.

Designed by Anastasiia B.

Available to hire ⏺

"The warm pink palette and flowers reflect the story’s gentle, joyful tone and introduce Dalia as a kind, curious girl learning about mitzvahs in a fun way. I combined a modern picture-book look with textured brushes and used soft colors to keep it fresh yet personal. The use of dahlias links the title to the art, while expressive details and warmth make the cover inviting for young girls."

Embers of the Republic

Matthew Reitz

Designed by Alejandro C.

Available to hire ⏺

"Epic confrontation between light and shadow! A classic epic fantasy cover featuring a hero on his noble mount facing a dark rider and dragon. In this genre, a realistic and meticulous technique is essential — combined with a dynamic, flowing composition that brings motion and tension to the scene. These are hallmarks of my work in the world of fantasy illustration."

Of Ash and Salt: The Emorean Prophecy (Book One)

Daniel G. M. McGee

Designed by Ryan M.

Available to hire ⏺

"I worked with the client to design this fantasy cover to feel like something ancient and alive, almost like a spell carved into the burnt wood. I kept the title big and centered so it commands attention even in thumbnail view. I think the end result balances elegance with a sense of mystery. It’s both gritty and poetic, just like the wonderful story inside."

Dead Flowers

J.M. Petrick

Designed by Nejc P.

Available to hire ⏺

"For Dead Flowers, I designed a cover that captures the book’s bold, rebellious spirit and moody noir tone. Drawing inspiration from classic pulp covers, I reimagined their raw energy through a modern lens. Merging vintage grit with contemporary minimalism and a dash of Hollywood flair."

Rosie the Unicorn does Gymnastics

Lisa Laferriere

Designed by Mariana O.

Available to hire ⏺

"This picture book is a heartwarming tale about Rosie, a unicorn who dreams of performing the same amazing moves as her friend Bunny but faces challenges along the way. Inspired by girls and gymnastics, the cover channels the energy of sports posters and uniforms while keeping a whimsical, magical feel — perfectly capturing Rosie’s spirit of friendship and perseverance."

One Girl Ran

Luba Schuyler

Designed by Jason A.

Available to hire ⏺

“After several explorations — from a photo collage splicing a crocodile with a palm-fringed beach, to rocky shapes forming its face, to a writhing silhouette of crocs — we chose a pared-back design. A simple crocodile silhouette, given a double-printed look, creates an alarming yet timeless retro feel. It extends across the jacket, striking in its simplicity and echoing the protagonist’s peril in the Costa Rican jungle.”

The Honorable Con

Michele C. Shaw

Designed by Tim B.

Available to hire ⏺

“With this cover — the first in a fast-paced fantasy series — I aimed to capture a cinematic sense of motion and adventure aboard a high-speed train cutting through the mountains. The sweeping composition and wind-blown leaves reinforce the energy, pace, and momentum at the heart of the story.”

I Love You, We Said

Ben Human

Designed by Peter S.

Available to hire ⏺

"For Ben Human’s autobiographical novel about an American writer newly expatriated to London, I aimed to evoke the city’s atmosphere and the book’s avant-garde spirit. Inspired by the iconic Tube map, I ultimately kept only its P22 Johnston Underground font, overlaying bright colors on a dark, shadowy background — a nod to the tension beneath Swinging London’s surface."

The Monsters They Made Us

Frank J. Camacho

Designed by Tim B.

Available to hire ⏺

“In this YA novel, four main characters grapple with the weight of their family legacies. I designed the cover so that each shard reflects an aspect of their stories, interacting with the title to add depth and drama. The blue-green palette evokes the ever-present water and the mysterious coastal town of Driftmore.”
