Robin Locke Monda – Designer

I'm a New York City gal who loves designing book covers. As a senior designer, I've enjoyed doing projects for the Big Five publishing houses, and for many independent authors just like you!

One author I recently worked with—right here on Reedsy—found his story and his book (with my cover design) featured in People Magazine, The Mirror and BookTrib.com.

Who are my clients? Only the best people! Writers, poets, educators and artists who want to publish a paperback or hardcover book, an ebook, audiobook, catalog or monograph.

I also create collateral materials, like flat and 3D/staged book renderings for use on social media and website pages, as well as slide decks and Amazon A+ content.

Are you a novelist or literary writer? I am a passionate fan! I will design a cover that reflects your voice and genre: historical and contemporary fiction, murder mysteries and crime novels, cozy mysteries, African American, Feminist and Native American novels, LGBTQ fiction, YA books—I love it all.

Do you have a nonfiction project? There is power in bringing a memoir or biography to life. There is power in sharing strategies for self-realization and well-being to readers. My job is to enhance the power of your message.

My personal interest in fine art and writing informs the cover designs I create. My love of photography, art history, children's book illustrations, calligraphy and poetry make my designs richer and deeper.

So let's get started! I've had the pleasure of designing covers for Fay Weldon, Joyce Carol Oates, Pauline Kael, Garry Wills, Leslie Marmon Silko, David B. Feinberg, Lillian Faderman, and Ishmael Reed. Now, I want to work for you!
