Book covers sell the story before a reader looks at the copy or excerpts. I use images that catch the eye and show what the book offers at a glance. I start by looking at the genre, the tone, and the audience. I also ask the author to share three cover samples they like, which helps me understand their vision. Typography plays a key role, too. It must fit the genre, meet accessibility standards, and stay readable even at thumbnail size.

This series is my way of testing how I can guide ChatGPT in writing stories that feel more natural. There are habits I’m working to train away from. It likes using run-on sentences and dashes. There are also habitual word choices, like “hum” and its variations. The project is in jest, so the pen name is Justa Jest. Whether it ever gets published is something I haven’t decided.
I’m rebranding the Darkin World series with a new pen name, updated editing, and some new characters. I’m also putting together clean editions so more readers can enjoy the books. For the covers, I used AI to get the correct poses and looks for each character, then adjusted them to fit the stories. I fine-tuned the images in Photoshop. I also designed a raven and crescent moon emblem as a vector, and it shows up on every cover to keep the series tied together.
I designed the cover for Bound for Success, the first book in the Writer’s Compass series, which gives authors a clear view of the business side of publishing. I created the compass emblem in Figma to serve as the brand’s mark, a symbol of direction that ties the series together. For the cover art, I worked in OpenArt to capture the look of a classic bookstore. I paired that imagery with a straightforward layout to give the series a grounded and consistent style.
