Overview
Hi, I’m new to Reedsy, but I've created hundreds of covers and collaborated with top sci-fi authors like Scott Bartlett, James Rosone, Ken Lozito, Daniel Arenson, and M. R. Forbes, honing my skills and deepening my genre expertise. These partnerships have enabled me to craft iconic covers that resonate with fans and elevate the books they adorn.
I am passionate about bringing new authors' unique worlds to life. Guiding them through the creative process and seeing their stories take flight is profoundly rewarding.
Working closely with authors helps me understand their vision and translate it into captivating covers that engage readers. This collaborative process enriches my creative journey and forges strong, lasting client relationships.
My blend of artistic skill and genre-specific knowledge makes me a sought-after artist, contributing to many successful book projects.
If you're seeking a book cover artist who combines exceptional quality with a deep passion for sci-fi, look no further. Let's collaborate to create a cover that will enchant readers and perfectly encapsulate your story.
I do not use AI in any of my work and never will.
A few testimonials:
G J Ogden - “The cover design process is one of my favorite parts of publishing a new book series, and Tom brought my ideas to life in a way that no other cover artist had done before. I actually rewrote the physical descriptions of two characters in my series to match his art, because it was frankly better than I’d even imagined."
Daniel Arenson - "Tom has created forty covers for me and counting. He's one of the best science fiction and fantasy artists working today. His art doesn't just make great book covers. It's great art period. If you need original science fiction or fantasy art, Tom is your guy."
Scott Bartlett - "I consider Tom Edwards' artwork central to selling my books. An Edwards cover is instantly recognizable by its quality and style, yet Tom’s range is extensive, always giving me exactly what I want: a cover that signals strongly to the readers of my genre, while differentiating my books within that genre. On top of that, Tom’s a professional and a truly nice guy. It’s my privilege to recommend him as a cover artist."

Work experience
Ogden Media Ltd
Working with G. J. Ogden (Kindle Storyteller Award Winner 2023) on his The Aternien Wars series. G. J. Ogden approached me in late 2022 with the series overview. I then worked with him for over 15 months designing and painting the series.
Here's a testimonial he provided after the work was completed: “The cover design process is one of my favorite parts of publishing a new book series, and Tom brought my ideas to life in a way that no other cover artist had done before. I actually rewrote the physical descriptions of two characters in my series to match his art, because it was frankly better than I’d even imagined. I can’t think of a stronger testimonial than that!”
Chris Fox Writes
I collaborated with author Chris Fox to create artwork for his Magitech Chronicles RPG, designing various items, illustrations, and vehicles to enrich the game's pages. Additionally, I have worked on the Magitech series with Chris, bringing his universe to life through detailed and immersive cover art.
Not Yet Studios
I collaborated with author Parker Davis on Priming the Charge, a graphic novel set in the near future. I was responsible for creating the artwork for the novel, including the front cover and concept art.
I worked with Parker for over two years, bringing his story to life one panel at a time.
Daniel Arenson
I've worked with Daniel Arenson over the length of my professional career. I worked with Daniel on multiple series including his award-winning 'Earthrise' series, and various spin-offs including 'Soldiers of Earthrise'.
I've provided an extensive amount of covers for the author's universe.
Here's a testimonial from Daniel: "Tom has created forty covers for me and counting. He's one of the best science fiction and fantasy artists working today. His art doesn't just make great book covers. It's great art period. I have several pieces hanging on my wall at home. If you need original science fiction or fantasy art, Tom is your guy."
