With my very first job in publishing, I was hooked on the intricate complexities that the world of book publishing can bring. From editing the manuscript, to typesetting and book cover design, through to marketing.

Throughout the years I have published my own books and have worked for a number of publishers, as editor, typesetter and book cover designer.

My real passion is in book cover designs. A book cover is the first thing that readers see when they are looking for a book. And every book is judged by its cover!
The cover of a book needs to start telling the story that lies within, and as part of my freelance work I also have a look at the book text itself and liaise closely with the author on possible ideas.

Professional Cover Designs from a Publishing Expert

Looking for a cover design for your book? For first time customers I now charge only £100* for a professional cover design. This includes:

• Author chat – 30 minutes chat with the author on cover ideas
• Images – If the author would like an image to be used then that’s great but if not, then I can research suitable images and purchase images, if required
• 3 Designs – I always put together 3 different draft designs to explore different options
• Unlimited revisions – I want all my authors to be happy with their design, and confident that it represents their book at its best

This applies to UK customers only. If you are from outside the UK, I am happy to help but would charge 50% upfront.
