Sophie Gordon

Sophie Gordon – Designer

Hello, I’m a Children’s book designer with over 10 years experience working with UK publishers.

Overview

I’m an experienced Senior Book Designer based in London, originally from Nottingham. I’m passionate about working closely with authors, editors and illustrators, to create standout book covers and interiors of the highest quality.


My expertise spans non-fiction to picture books, preschool and text led non-fiction. I’m proud to have contributed to award-winning titles, including winners at the A Post Irish Book Awards 2020 and Sainsbury’s Children’s Book Awards 2020. I’ve also designed covers for bestselling authors such as Onjali Q. Raúf and astronaut Tim Peake.


If you’re looking to bring your book idea to life, I’m here to design eye-catching covers and professionally typeset interiors.
