A quality book cover design is so important these days. With so much competition on the bookshelves and on the internet, your book needs to stand out from the crowd. As a book cover designer and illustrator, I will work closely with you to produce a cover that you will love, and prospective buyers will be drawn to.

Book Title: Confessions Of A Womanizer

"I enjoyed working with Samantha Wall. She has the wonderful ability to extract my abstract thoughts and turn them into great designs. I will be working with her again on my next novel."

Book Title: Whispers In The Silence

“Samantha is a creative genius, and really knows how to visually bring a book to life.”

Book Title: Iceman To The Internet

"From a grab bag of photos and facts, Samantha Wall created an imaginative cover that touches my core. Instinctively divining its importance to my narrative, she presents Escumbuit Island as a tranquil refuge from change, my safe haven in a world evolving from horse drawn ice wagons to Internet chat rooms in nine decades."

"Samantha Wall did a beautiful job on my book cover. She is a talented designer and I recommend her highly."

Book Title: Release The Butterfly

"When I asked Sam to work on my book cover, my first letter was long and vague, explaining at length about how it should convey inspiration, creativity, peace, the flight of the soul, etc. Poor Sam! Still, she thought about it, and within a few days sent back an image. I was doubtful that anyone could capture what I wanted and was ready for a long back-and-forth about it.

Well, she “nailed it’ on the first try; this image, with a few additions of color and background, is on the final cover. I could scarcely believe my eyes when I first downloaded her attachment- it was magnificent in its simplicity, yet it captured everything I wanted and more. And it was smoothly drawn, seemingly with one journey of the pen. I was struck by how organic the image was; it really made you believe that this person had become a butterfly and had taken flight. Samantha’s genius came through as in all great artists’ work, in how it transcended itself. From the line itself came life, from slight variations in stroke came eloquence. Although I was busy finishing my book and working full-time, I spent a lot of time gazing at this image. It filled me with such peace, and very importantly, with the confidence that I would complete my book and gain readership.

Sam has illustrated another project, after another long letter from me, with equal insight and brilliance. This was a CD cover "Inside Out".

Samantha Wall is a first-rate illustrator, artist, and professional. A cover designer or illustrator must be able to transmit their work to a printer, with all technical requirements, text, barcodes attached. Sam did this easily and without any pain for me. Also, as an author and publisher, I appreciated her willingness to design a logo and internal illustration on short notice. Whatever the job, Samantha Wall completed it graciously, expertly, promptly and with world-class artistry.

My book has been critically well received, but I’m happy to admit that the most frequent comment is “What a beautiful cover!” Well, I guess that says it all, he said at long last".

Book Title: Please Remember

"My grateful thanks to Samantha Wall for a brilliant cover. Sam managed to produce, on the first attempt, an image that I had in my mind but found difficult to convey into words, offering her only jumbled thoughts and a photograph. It truly has been a pleasure working with Sam, I highly recommend her."

-A R Drew

Book Title: The Phoenix

"Samantha did a terrific job on my cover for The Phoenix. I had an idea of what I wanted, and sent her a very poor quality scan of a 150-year-old suede leather book cover with tarnished gold details. I had no real hope that it would work. I don't know how she did what she did, but the cover looks like--old suede leather with tarnished gold details. Exactly what I
wanted! Kudos, Sam!"

Book Title: Striper Chronicles

Title: A Londoners' Diary 1926-2001

"Samantha Wall is one of those rare individuals who possesses both imagination and a superb practical talent. She was quick to propose an impressive image of the desired style for my father's autobiography, and within a very small number of revisions, guided by our feedback, she honed it to produce what I consider to be the perfect cover artwork for the book. Samantha was a pleasure to work with, and I would unreservedly recommend her."

"If you're looking for an artist who will listen to your instructions; is patient, amenable to making changes, and produces within a set time frame; look no further. She made an exquisite CD cover for me working solely from instructions from me, via e-mail. I described an idea and she turned that idea into an exquisite work of art.
Thank you Samantha!"-Magdalena Obert Published By Butterfly Press

"Two heads are sometimes better than one, and ideally a book cover comes from both author and designer. That's what happened with Allegiance, my latest novel. This may be the hardest job for a designer, to listen well to an opinionated author and also offer her own ideas. I gave Samantha a photo and she produced a background for it that is a work of art in its own right. Clever book covers are not uncommon; artistic covers are somewhat rare."-Jim Shackelford

"When I decided to self publish my book, I went to a lot of different places looking for cover art. I got so frustrated by the process, I put the project aside for a whole year. Finally I found Sam. Not only was the price reasonable, but she clearly had an interest in getting the cover done the way I wanted it- adapting her style to my tastes. She always had lots of ideas, and was a talented artist, fulfilling the promise of a years worth of work in just a few weeks.
THANKS SAM! "

"We're known as a publisher of nonfiction, so when we published our first novel, we felt that we had to prove ourselves all over again. Therefore, although we've produced most of our covers in-house, it was important to work with an artist who specializes in book covers for Purple Sun. Sam was suggested to us by a friend, and turned out to be an outstanding choice.
We started with a general idea of what we wanted for a cover, and even had purchased rights to a photo that fit the landscape of Larry McAuliffe's epic Vietnam novel. Sam did a masterful job of manipulating the photo, taking out some elements, adding others, and changing the colors to perfectly reflect the mood of Purple Sun.

The cover is striking--people notice it right away on book displays and in stores. Sam's work has been a crucial part of the book's success."

"thank you for your endless support on making this book cover. When I first contacted you, I wasn't exactly sure about what I wanted yet you didn't give up on me. I cannot forget the number of times I asked you to alter this and that.I was never sure of which file formats were appropriate for printing or at what stage the barcode is put on the cover. Throughout this uncertainity of what to do, you remained supportive. I look forward to working with you on my next book and I will definitely recommend you to other writers."
