Beth Tunnicliffe

Beth Tunnicliffe – Designer

Creative designer/Non-fiction Arts, Biography, History, and all fiction. 25+yrs experience.

Overview

I’m a freelance graphic designer with over 25 years’ experience, specialising in distinctive, market-ready book covers. My career began at Thames & Hudson, where I spent six years honing my skills in high-quality cover design before launching my own design business.

Today, I work with a wide range of clients, from major publishers, including Thames & Hudson, to small presses and self-published authors, bringing a tailored, collaborative approach to every project.

Whether you’re releasing a memoir, publishing an in-depth historical study, or creating a richly illustrated art book, my aim is the same: to design a cover that stands out on the shelf or screen while perfectly reflecting the essence of your work. I combine industry insight with creative vision to produce designs that connect with readers and elevate your book’s presence.

If you’re looking for a designer who understands both creativity and the publishing landscape, I’d love to collaborate.
