​​Discounts for Book Series

If you’re commissioning cover art for a series of books, I offer discounts for multiple covers booked together, especially if it’s the same characters, so I don’t have to design them from scratch. Don’t hesitate to ask any questions and contact me for a custom quote!

​​Choosing the Right Cover Style for Your Book

If you're unsure which style suits your book best, here’s a quick guide:

✔ Highly detailed covers work best for fantasy, historical, cyber or steampunk and epic romance.
✔ Minimalist and stylized covers fit contemporary, urban fantasy, and light romance.
✔ Ornate and decorative designs suit historical, gothic, and dark fantasy books.

Of course, it’s not the ultimate rule, and I can always go with your vision, whatever it is.

All styles featured in my portfolio are available for book covers! If you’re looking for a custom approach or something unique, feel free to ask for a personalized quote based on your needs.
