What I've Done

I have worked on 200+ illustrations, including multiple-award-winning and bestselling designs. I have worked with wonderful clients such as Laura Thalassa, Leia Stone, Miranda Honfleur, Frost Kay, Melissa Storm, Thea Harrison, and Eva Chase.

A Cover's Purpose

Creating a cover that appeals to new readers is the primary goal of a cover. With that comes my creativity and your general overview of needed elements. My understanding of the current market and what reader's seek is the guiding factor and direction your cover will take.

My Process

After my offer is accepted, I will begin to work on an initial mockup for you to review. The mockup will have the primary elements, but not be a polished piece of work, Instead at this stage you may let me know of anything major needing revision. After finalizing the major elements, I move onto the final artwork. Covers have three revisions included if needed. I bill for the cover once the work is finished. If you need further add-ons, you are welcome to always contact me.

If you have any additional add-ons, I am happy to talk through them and give you a quote.

Next Steps

I look forward to your request, even if you aren’t sure, feel free to send it and I will see if I am a good fit for you. I hope to work with you soon!
