Testimonials

Here are a few of my favorite book cover designs along with my client's testimonials. I have also added some comments of my own about the projects. You can click on the book covers to see them in detail. 

Book Title: Pain

"I approached Sam with the idea I had for the cover of my book Pain which was an image of the 3 main characters. Sam put in a lot of hard work and successfully captured what I had in my head which I thought would be impossible. I am very proud of my book cover and I would recommend Sam to anyone who wants a friendly, patient and professional designer."

-Kim Padgett-Clarke

This project came together very quickly and Kim was very easy to work with.

Book Title: Moon Chase

"This was my first – and hopefully not my last – venture into book publishing and Sam’s help was vital in that process.  From the start everything was clear and Sam’s endless and patient co-operation ensured that the finished result was every thing that I had hoped for and more.  I am delighted with my book cover and would not hesitate to recommend Sam to anyone."

I really enjoyed working with Cathy. She had some great design ideas and really knew how the completed design should look. I am very happy with the results.

Book Title: Boltman

"I chose to work with Sam because I saw in her gallery a variety of styles and mediums. As a first-time author, I was a bit nervous to put my feet in, but Sam made the process enjoyable. The journey from my initial idea to a fabulous finished cover flowed from an easy exchange of ideas, a true collaboration that I am quite proud of. When I look at my cover, months later, I still smile."

-Eric Quinn Knowles

Eric had some great ideas and really helped me to understand the style and humor of the book. Within two or three edits the project was complete. This was a really fun project to work on

Book Title: The Mini Marriage

This quote is extracted from the Mini Marriage Website...

"She's an incredibly talented artist and illustrator and when I sent her an email inquiring about her process, she emailed me back the next day. I LOVE that kind of service. She worked with us on creating our vision for the book and had lots of great ideas..."

Book Title: The Amber Treasure

"I approached Sam Wall looking for a vibrant colourful cover for The Amber Treasure (my Dark Age historical fiction novel) and she worked with me to come up with an exciting and interesting design which I really like. The final stages of design involved multiple revisions and she never complained about this and made all the changes I asked for speedily. I would certainly recommend her to other publishers and novelists."

-Richard Denning

Richard came to me with a very interesting book. It was important for me to capture the tension and excitement of the story. I am very pleased with the result.

Book Title: Mad About the Boy

"Finding the right artist for my debut novel Mad About the Boy wasn't an easy endeavor. It took a total of four months to find Sam and I'm so impressed with her work. I love my bookcover! Sam was very thorough and communicated well her ideas. We revised and discussed my vision until it was perfect. I could not have been anymore pleased with the end result. Sam listened to my directions on how I wanted my bookcover to be represented. I highly recommend working with Sam Wall, she is a fantastic artist creatively but also a wonderful professional to work with and very thorough in her work. I'm receiving rave reviews for my novel Mad About the Boy, the story within the book is reflected brilliantly in the vibrancy of my book cover created by Sam Wall. Five stars for you Sam, my book cover is attracting readers to my work!"

-Suzan Battah

Book series:Ready or Not...

"Samantha Wall's ability to turn my abstract ideas into the exact design I needed combined with her prompt turnaround and professional approach made her an invaluable part of the publishing process. I look forward to working with her again."
-Elizabeth Lyons

Book one "Here we come"

Book two "There we go"

This was a great project to work on. Elizabeth had very strong ideas on the style of illustrations she required. I think the resulting covers are perfect for her book, and I often receive compliments about these designs. I love the bright colors.

Book Title: A Return to Abundance Trilogy

"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!"

-Paul Gubany

I really enjoyed working on this series of books. Paul had some great ideas, and once we had settled on an image, everything came together quickly.

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."

-Stephen E. Chatman
Published By Must Read Books

I experimented a lot with this cover to make the pages look old and used. I soaked coffee into scrunched up paper then scanned them once they were dry. Stephen is always a pleasure to work with. I have produced two more covers for him.

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...Read more.

-Bob Diefendorf

Bob was a pleasure to work with. The cover came together very quickly. I loved the design process and Bob's enthusiasm for the completed cover.

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."

-Alfred E. Kayworth
