eBook Design
I create bespoke eBook cover designs that are perfect for your needs. I can source the photography myself, or the author can provide what is needed. I will always ensure that any images used are of the highest professional quality. You may require photo editing to achieve the right design. I have extensive Photoshop skills, and can make those edits for you.
If you prefer an illustrated design, I am a professional illustrator, and can illustrate in a variety of styles, and you will see throughout my portfolio. I work in a timely manner, and will work closely with you to create the perfect design layout for your book. I do not use A.I. in any of my artwork. Everything is created by me.
If you have any questions about my work, or need a book cover design, please Contact me to discuss your project.
Here are just a few of my happy customers, along with a few words from me describing the project.
“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.”
“Sam Wall is a very talented cover illustrator…as you can see by the several novel covers she has done for me…and an absolute pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her. She also did more than 30 wonderful illustrations for my colossal poetry book – “My Sentiments Exactly”
“Being a first time author I found that it involved a lot of work on my part between carrying out research for the book while in the process of writing it at the same time. When it came down to I having to come up with a suitable design for the cover of the book I did have something in mind right from the start and then that something came to reality when I put my thoughts of what I was looking for to Sam. Sam came back to me after a time with her initial drawings and after I suggesting making a couple of minor adjustments to her she came up with the goods. I’m delighted with the final results and I would recommend her work to any aspiring author who would be looking for an illustrator for their work.”
“Self-publishing is fraught with uncountable challenges. Because readers do judge a book by its cover, one of the most important challenges is cover design. Engaging Sam Wall makes this vitally important aspect of publishing much easier. From her reasonable rates, to thoughtfully evaluating and quickly transforming this author’s preliminary notion into an initial draft…through a reasonable sequence of refinements…Sam Wall executed my project with professionalism, expertise, creativity—and economy. In addition to prompt turn-around and informative communiqués, Sam Wall took the time to understand the story and craft design elements which visually complemented the tale. In Sam Wall, I found a fabulous ally who is helping me bring my stories to the marketplace…any author who engages her will confidently find the same.”
“Early in 2015 I decided to republish four novels using Create space, and in the process refresh their covers. After reading Sam’s website, particularly the straight forward narrative and her competitive pricing, I asked her to start work on the first book. She produced an initial sketch of her ideas and consulted me on any changes I wanted. The process went through about four stages, culminating in a high resolution print-ready file that I uploaded without any problem. Throughout my dealings with Sam, I found her to be tolerant and very professional. I will be consulting her again to design the cover of a fifth novel I’m in the process of writing. In the meantime I have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone with a need for high-quality design. All of the work she did for me during 2015 can be found HERE“
“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.
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”.
