Mist
Designed by Milica S.
Available to hire"The cover for Mist visually bridges the novel’s psychological tension and its underlying sci-fi elements. The glitchy, ethereal portrait embodies the title's 'mist' while hinting at the AI forces hidden within the narrative. I wanted to represent the generations of Black women at the story's core using digital textures that reflect the dual timelines and fractured realities. The modern, spacious typography adds an enigmatic touch to the thriller."
Designer: Nuno M.
Before Tomorrow
Designed by Nuno M.
Available to hire"This cover captures the sense of movement and emotional transition at the heart of the memoir. Bold graphic forms and a flash of yellow create tension between openness and fragmentation, while the documentary-style treatment reflects themes of travel, displacement, and personal reinvention. Handwritten elements add a more intimate, vulnerable layer, balancing immediacy with emotional depth."
Designer: Alan H.
An Anthropology of Wandering
Designed by Alan H.
Available to hire"The bold contrasting lines of the eye illustration and the radiating focal point immediately draw the reader’s eye to the compass needle at the center. It’s a clever “two-in-one” visual approach that perfectly captures the book’s core message and emotional tone in a strong, graphic, and highly memorable way. That coupled with a sophisticated color palette and the clear title placement immediately signals authority."
Designer: Amanda L.
Kind to All Kinds
Designed by Amanda L.
Available to hire"My aim for the cover was to convey Mark's intentions to show animals experiencing feelings and a sense of inclusion, whilst also showcasing the beauty of nature around them. I wanted the cover to be colourful to stand out and the typography was chosen to look unique, but gentle to reiterate the themes within the book."

What Keeps Us
Designed by Peter S.
Available to hire"Since the main linking element in Jeanine Boulay’s novel-in-stories is its historic Brooklyn setting, I emphasized that in my design by way of an emblematic row of Brooklyn brownstones peeking out from behind the book’s title, which fills the design, such that the enormous “US” allays any doubt as to what country Brooklyn is in. Meanwhile another famous Brooklyn feature, it’s wild parrots (parakeets, actually), fly over the letters, casting ominous shadows on them."

Think Again
Designed by Ashley S.
Available to hire"This book was more impressionistic and radical so I wanted a more free-flowing style, I used Procreate to achieve something much more gestural that my usual work.The book is also about reading people's thoughts and I love the motif of the characters' matching thoughts in the brain and also the same thought being reflected in the glasses."
Designer: Barış Ş.
Designer: Tim B.
The Nature of Demons
Designed by Tim B.
Available to hire"The Nature of Demons describes an ordinary world that has suddenly gone to pieces due to a supernatural apocalypse. I wanted to depict how an ordinary street in suburbia might look a couple of days after the event, and for it to have a similar feel to some of the medieval paintings of hell by Bruegel and Bosch."
Designer: Marta D.
The Dragon Liberator: Escapade
Designed by Marta D.
Available to hire"The cover showcases the main character of the novel, Fendrel, and his dragon, hinting at the plot with eye-catching details, such as Fendrel’s pendant. The goal was to create a semi-realistic illustration reminiscent of classic epic fantasy covers, while making it appealing to a younger audience."
Designer: My Lan K.
A War of Hearts and Fire
Designed by My Lan K.
Available to hire"This Young Adult Romantasy is high in emotion and action, and I wanted to show that with the three main characters in a dynamic composition with the title. The fire background hints at magic and war. I wanted to make the characters' different personalities clear through their expression. The FMC is determined and fierce, and is trapped in a love triangle between her charming best friend with a heart of gold and a cunning and mysterious stranger."
Designer: Nejc P.
A Hard Frost
Designed by Nejc P.
Available to hire"When we began developing the cover, Crisman Strunk already had a strong idea in mind: a frost-covered Appalachian field with a body in the distance. With that direction established, my goal was to transform the concept into a strong, commercially effective cover that immediately establishes genre and tone. I used strong perspective to create depth, negative space to build tension, and a limited color palette to keep the mood focused and cohesive."

A Minute Before Infinity
Designed by Caitlin B. A.
Available to hire"As the second book in the series, this cover reflects the growth and development of details within the story. It showcases a more complicated and metaphorical design while referencing our first cover's use of the hand and mysterious color palette. Here, we wanted to represent the series' infinite theme with an hourglass and its immersive writing style by adding a faint figure within it."
Designer: Vanessa M.
A Girl Named Harper
Designed by Vanessa M.
Available to hire"This cover reflects a guarded love story and a fresh start. The single, quiet moment hints at two people drawn together while still holding their own space, much like the characters themselves. The clean layout and handwritten title keep it modern and warm, suggesting vulnerability, second chances, and a romance that builds naturally rather than all at once."
Designer: Barış Ş.
Designer: Nejc P.
Fools Hollow
Designed by Nejc P.
Available to hire"For this cover, the goal was to merge two visual worlds: the nostalgic charm of classic Hardy Boys covers and the symbolic structure of a traditional tarot card. Florida pines frame the scene, tarot iconography anchors the layout, and key paranormal creatures appear as archetypes. The result reinforces the novel’s central tension while inviting readers to open the book and solve the mystery themselves."
Designer: Paul P.
Sam Black Shadow
Designed by Paul P.
Available to hire"I have fond memories of the Herbert Van Thal (yes, that was his real name) 'Horror Stories' anthologies from the 60s. I loved the 'horror' font and the scary imagery that stood out from a bookshelf, and I was hoping that with the design for Paul Berry's Sam Black Shadow, I could achieve something equally impactful."
Designer: Richard L.
Designer: Vanessa M.
When Love Lasts
Designed by Vanessa M.
Available to hire"This cover leans into the emotion of a love that once felt certain and now feels fragile. The couple turned away from us captures distance, memory, and unresolved feelings, while the city backdrop grounds the story in real life rather than fantasy. The soft colours and flowing title keep it romantic, but slightly wistful, reflecting a marriage tested by betrayal, the pull of the past, and the possibility of a second chance."
Designer: Natalia J.
The Fool and the Sparrow
Designed by Natalia J.
Available to hire"The cover reimagines The Fool tarot card composition through a contemporary lens. Framed like a tarot card, the design contrasts a light background with a red nebula cutting through the night sky, hinting at danger and the romance in the story. The male figure and sparrow reflect the story’s duality, blending mysticism and intrigue into the composition."
Designer: Vanessa M.
The Truth About Unspeakable Things
Designed by Vanessa M.
Available to hire"This cover leans into secrecy and danger. The closed blue door suggests things hidden, things locked away, while the glimpse inside hints at intimacy, vulnerability, and risk. It mirrors Emma’s story of trying to rebuild after violence, caught between wanting safety and being pulled back into something dark. The contrast between beauty and threat reflects a journey where love, fear, and survival exist side by side, and where the truth comes at a cost."
Designer: Margarita C.
Designer: Stephanie H.
Decedes Dream
Designed by Stephanie H.
Available to hire"The cover for Decede’s dream aims to show the struggle between good and evil which is the underlying theme of the book. The author requested certain characters to be present on the cover, I have decided to depict these in motion to reflect the fast pace of this action packed epic fantasy for young adult readers. The title is a nod to the particles created by the swords which play an important role in the story."
Designer: Nejc P.
The Consortium Rising
Designed by Nejc P.
Available to hire"As the second volume of The Consortium series, the goal was to maintain a cohesive aesthetic while elevating the original concept. Each installment stands alone with a distinct visual story, yet remains unmistakably unified. Strong reds, deep blacks, and striking imagery create immediate tension, placing the reader on edge before they open the book—resulting in a series that feels deliberate and boldly connected."
Designer: Richard L.
Designer: Vanessa M.
Save the Queen City
Designed by Vanessa M.
Available to hire"This cover is designed to feel like a playing card, clean, bold, and a little deceptive. The symmetry and framed layout hint at rules, risk, and chance, echoing a story where everyone has something to hide. The glamorous surface reflects Nikki’s media world, while the city in the lenses suggests danger hiding in plain sight, reinforcing the idea that in this game, you never know who is holding the winning card."
Designer: Alejandro C.
Highest Price
Designed by Alejandro C.
Available to hire"Inspired by the timeless image of a knight confronting a giant—echoing Don Quixote—this illustration captures the epic clash in a bold, contemporary way. I chose the peak dramatic moment, the instant of collision, for maximum impact. Strong movement and a balanced palette give the cover a timeless, epic quality while helping it stand out in today’s market. It remains one of my strongest pieces in the genre."
Designer: Paul P.
Surrender
Designed by Paul P.
Available to hire"When I was first approached by Lee Schneider to design Surrender, book one in his futuristic Utopia Trilogy series, we both agreed that it shouldn't look anything like a sci-fi novel. The resulting cover designs (including books two and three – Resist and Liberation), which feature a recurring dystopian eye motif and stylised landscapes, are all realised in bright, distinctly non-sci-fi colours."
