Don’t a bad cover hamper your sales.

A book cover has more work to do than just look pretty. To earn its keep, it must do two jobs, which at first seem contradictory: fitting in AND standing out. The cover should be at home within its genre, yet distinctive enough to catch the eye of the ideal reader, convincing them to stop and investigate.

The point is never personal artistic expression, but to communicate the theme clearly and attract the right reader. And a bad book cover almost guarantees you’ll miss out on sales you might otherwise deserve.

If this is a concern to you, let's talk. I can help.

Fire Lilles by Rhiannon Lloyd book cover design

Fire Lilies book interior design & layout

Mark was so helpful and kind when we worked together on Fire Lilies. I was way out of my depth, but Mark’s skills and good eye rescued me! I learned a lot, while he carried the load.

I especially appreciated his skill and artistry in re-drawing our maps, diagrams, and enhancing the photos. Basically, he made our book look professional. His work and consultancy were invaluable.
