Your story is unique— your cover should be too
Your book deserves more than words on a page—it deserves a cover that shines, sparks curiosity, and stops readers in their tracks. For self-publishing authors, a killer cover is your secret weapon.

Across genres—romance, fantasy, sci-fi, biography, nonfiction, memoir—you name it, I’ve designed it. Every cover is print-ready and optimized for platforms like Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP), IngramSpark, and other print-on-demand services, so your book looks amazing wherever it lands.

Types of book covers
When it comes to book cover design, there are many options to consider—each one shaping how readers experience your story before they even turn the first page. Do you envision a photographic or an illustrated cover? Which format? A hardcover vs a paperback or ebook? Many authors choose to create all three formats to maximize reach.
Beyond format and artwork, details like trim size, paper selection, typography, and genre expectations all play an important role in how your book is received by your audience. As a book cover designer, I’ll guide you through these choices to ensure your cover not only fits your story but also speaks directly to your ideal readers.
