I usually work on 2-3 (or more) cover ideas in 3-4 business days.

If youโ€™re happy with the covers and you decide to move forward with one of them:


1. We finalise the winning design.

2. I get the Ebook cover files + 3D covers + social media banner ready for you.

3. We work on the paperback cover (front + spine + back).

Itโ€™s important that the manuscript is good to go and has had a thorough edit and proofread before starting.

Vanessa designed the book cover and interior layout for my poetry book. She did an excellent job, exceeding my expectations. Vanessa is a dream to work with from start to finish! Professional, knowledgable, great style-sense. She knows what catches a readers attention and totally delivered! I highly recommend Vanessa.

Vanessa carried out my project (formatting for Amazon-KDP) to an impeccable standard. She was prompt, conscientious, and professional. I intend to release a new edition of one of my previous novels in April (with Ukrainian transliteration) and intend to enlist her for that project as well, if I can.

Vanessa is not only an exceptionally talented designer, but also an absolute joy to work with. Her cover design has left me utterly amazed. She has captured the essence perfectly and created an outstanding design that reflects 100% of my book, even though my specifications were completely uncreative. I can't wait to work with her again.
