    I can help with the complete book design and publishing experience - for both print and ebook. The goal is to impactfully deliver a book's message through the impressions made by the overall book package - book covers, pages, and/or digital presentation. Here are a few of the things I can do for you - - Cover design - starting with your thoughts, ideas, and overall vision for your book, I'll provide multiple design options and fine-tune from there until we get to the perfect cover for you book. Please note: I'm not an illustrator so I'm not able to provide custom artwork, but I do use the magic of graphic design to create unique images using existing art/graphics/photos. - Page design & formatting - drawing inspiration from your cover and overall vision for your book, I'll provide multiple page design options - from there we'll fine-tune to bring the elements of your book together into an engaging and cohesive package. - Ebook conversion - creating ebook files for Kindle, Apple Books, Kobo, Nook , ​& others that mirror the print version of your book - I specialize in complex ebook formatting and work directly in the HTML coding for the best looking and most functional ebook possible - NO stripped-down ebooks built by third-party/auto-conversion tools! - Assistance with CreateSpace, Ingram Spark, Lightning Source, KDP, Apple Books, Smashwords, LOC, and more - all of these sites/services can be complicated to navigate! Let me help! I'm familiar with them all and have helped dozens of authors navigate the print and ebook processes. Please feel free to request samples from my portfolio. NOTE: Phone consultations are NOT typically offered. Over 10 years of book design, Lorie has found online communication to be much more effective for the work required and for overall project management. If a phone consult is required, it is only offered at a premium hourly rate.

When I hired her to help me publish my book, I was nervous and didn’t have a big vision for the book. I thought I would only quietly release an ebook. She encouraged me to think bigger. To dream bigger. To tell the world my story because so many people needed to hear it and not just my inner circle. Chisom guided me through the final manuscript by making sure my messages were clear, my voice and personality shined through on paper, and helped me gain confidence to know that my book was worthy enough to be published. She was simply amazing throughout the entire process. If you are thinking about writing and publishing a book and don’t know where to start or to do next, definitely schedule a consultation with Chisom. She can walk you through the process and ensure you have a successful book launch." - Ellington Darden, Author, Still Living Longer Stronger "I highly recommend working with Chisom for your book project. This was my first book project and I didn't know the end to end process of how to turn a manuscript into a published book and then to launch it on Amazon and IngramSparks. Chisom explained how it all worked and was very, very patient with myself and my team throughout the entire project. She excels at book editing, proofreading, communication and delivering a very high quality book. I would definitely use her again for any future book projects." Clement DeCrop, Author, The Idea Space: "Chisom was able to execute a super difficult, image heavy (200+) project. There were bumps in the road, but she was able to push through those challenges and deliver a great final product. If you are looking for someone to help coach you or format a book, then Chisom is your person!" I look forward to helping you create a polished, successful book from start to finish! #kindle #ebook #epub #mobi #Amazon #Smashwords #Lulu #KDP #bookdesign #printlayout #book #PDF #ebookdesign #bookpublishing #logo #Indesign #Ingramspark #eBookconversion #eBookformatting #Childrenbooks #typesetting #booklayout #illustrations

    Picture is the medium by which i used to express myself ever since I could remember. It is what I do and it is something that i want to perfect as much as i can in this life time. My entire skill is completely self thought - excluding inspiration I find in other masters of this trade and, of course, internet. My major in school was history, I never had any professional tutoring in the field of illustration. This site gives me the opportunity to expand my work and perfect it, make it my profession - and that is something that is becoming realty more and more every single day. I work in Adobe Photoshop and sometimes in Adobe Illustrator. I don't want to be the one to appraise my work - I leave that to you potential business partner!

Book Cover Designers Hiring FAQs

What is a book cover designer?

Book cover designers are experts who create visually attractive images and text to relay the central ideas and themes of your literary project. Good book cover design helps your book stand out both on the shelf and in online stores.

How do you hire a book cover designer?

You can source book cover design talent on Upwork by following these three steps:

  • Write a project description. You’ll want to determine your scope of work and the skills and requirements you are looking for in a book cover designer.
  • Post it on Upwork. Once you’ve written a project description, post it to Upwork. Simply follow the prompts to help you input the information you collected to scope out your project.
  • Shortlist and interview book cover designers. Once the proposals start coming in, create a shortlist of the professionals you want to interview. 

Of these three steps, your project description is where you will determine your scope of work and the specific type of book cover designer you need to complete your project.

How much does it cost to hire a book cover designer?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced book cover designer may command higher fees but also work faster, have more-specialized areas of expertise, and deliver higher-quality work.
  • A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their book cover design services more competitively. 

Rates typically charged by book cover designers on Upwork are:

  • Beginner: $20 per hour
  • Intermediate: $33 per hour
  • Advanced: $55 per hour

Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project. 

How do you write a book cover designer job post?

Your job post is your chance to describe your project scope, budget, and talent needs. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project.

Job post title

Create a simple title that describes exactly what you’re looking for. The idea is to target the keywords that your ideal candidate is likely to type into a job search bar to find your project. Here are some sample book cover designer job post titles:

  • Book cover designer needed to illustrate a cover for a quirky horror novel
  • Seeking an experienced book cover designer who can work in Photoshop
  • Need a book cover designer who can edit and enhance photographs

Project description

An effective book cover designer job post should include: 

  • Scope of work: From illustration to publisher-compliant formatting, list all the deliverables you’ll need. 
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project. 
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain genres, software, or graphic design styles, mention this here. 
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

Book cover designer job responsibilities

Here are some examples of book cover designer job responsibilities:

  • Create or select images, fonts, and themes that offer a visual representation of a book’s contents
  • Resize and thoughtfully place images and text for an aesthetic layout
  • Balance the need to grab attention with that of representing the content
  • Render final image files that meet client needs as well as publisher requirements

Book cover designer job requirements and qualifications

Be sure to include any requirements and qualifications you’re looking for in a book cover designer. Here are some examples:

  • Background in visual arts, graphic design, illustration, photography, or photo editing
  • Familiar with design software such as Canva, Adobe, Photoshop, or InDesign
  • Portfolio of completed book cover designs
