Illustrated Book Cover Designs
My book cover designs cover a wide variety of topics. I have designed and illustrated children’s books, all types of fiction, Sci-Fi, graphic novels, none fiction, poetry, self-help books, humorous books, and many more. I enjoy being flexible, and ready to tackle each and every unique project that comes along. I like to gain a feel for a book by reading some chapters and chatting in depth with the author. Once a quote has been agreed, I can begin working. I always keep my clients regularly updated as the design progresses. This ensures that the author always feels in control of the design, and also feels confident that changes can be made if requested. Completed artwork will be professionally formatted and print ready. I can also add the blurb to the back cover, bar codes, logos and any photos if required. The spine will be carefully and accurately sized according to your requirements. If you have any questions about the process, please feel free to message me.
Writing a book is usually very much a singular endeavor, so the thought of working with an artist on the cover design of what up until then had been my own and very personal project filled me with a certain amount of trepidation. However, I need not have worried. From the outset working with Sam was a joy. Somehow she made sense of all my vague ideas, ramblings and mutterings, and created a cover that not only exceeded my expectations but also – by some magical process! – brought my thousand-year old story to life. I cannot wait to finish my next project and watch from the sidelines as Sam weaves her magic yet again!!

“Sam turned a simple concept I had into one of the most beautiful covers I’ve ever seen. Everyone to whom I show the book says, “Paul, this is a beautiful book!” If you want a great cover, just give Sam a little information, get in the flow, and watch a beautiful cover come to life. Five stars, Sam!”

“I just adore the covers you designed. A picture paints a thousand words, and your designs are perfection. It is always a pleasure Sam, and thank you for my amazing book covers.”

“Sam’s help was vital in the publishing process. From the start everything was clear and Sam’s endless and patient co-operation ensured that the finished result was everything that I had hoped for and more. I am delighted with my book cover and would not hesitate to recommend Sam to anyone.” visit the home of the Fellhounds here www.fellhounds.co.uk
