Finding a great book cover designer used to be really hard.
But not anymore! Here’s our list of 187 of the best book cover designers in the world.
List of Book Cover Designers
Note: The pricing, turnaround times, and types of designs done vary from one designer to another, so don’t just hire the first cover designer you look at.
Make sure the designer you decide to work with has designed books for your specific genre or niche before, and that they’re comfortable designing a cover in the style you’re looking for. For example, some designers only do photo manipulation with Photoshop, while others do much more advanced illustration work.
