Tess McCabe – Designer

Attention-grabbing book cover design ~ On time and on budget. Specialising in business non-fiction.

Overview

I'm a graphic designer specialising in book design, with over 20 years experience in publishing and digital marketing. I love helping fellow self-publishers navigate their way through the publishing process while designing impactful book covers that make readers want to buy.

I know the ins and outs of self-publishing a book, because I've done it multiple times myself. My books and resources help creatives and solopreneurs run smarter businesses, and are available at bookstores around Australia and online internationally.

I enjoy working with authors to bring their books to life, employing my skills as a clear and authentic communicator to develop highly functional and aesthetically pleasing design outcomes. My long list of clients have enjoyed working with me not only for my creative, concept-driven and highly communicative design work but for my organisation and communication skills, reliability, efficiency and affordability.​

I like good ideas and a strong cup of tea. I look forward to working with you on your book!
