Worked with the Book Designers for my cover of In the Algorithm We Trust. The cover turned out phenomenal. Their communication was great and they responded well to feedback. Would highly recommend.

The quality of the work the Book Designers have done for us is exceptional, and it has been delivered in a timely way on every project. We have now done seven books with the Book Designers and will continue to engage them,

I run production books for self-published authors I support through assisted self-publishing and have assigned several projects to theBookDesigners. I've had the pleasure to work with them on several titles across genres and they always have shown up with strong comps that meet the needs specified in the creative brief. In moments where the author didn't like the options presented, they've been flexible in giving additional options. They're also incredibly fast. At times, publishing can be a slow moving business but theBookDesigners are always quick and efficient and I always appreciate how proactive they are with communication. Having worked in traditional publishing previously at a major publisher, I can confidently say they are worth looking into whether you're self-publishing, hybrid publishing, or a traditional publisher.

Cover designs are smart and the team is very easy to work with, very creative and resourceful!

I've worked with many, many book designers in my day. This unique design duo stands out in many ways. They're flexible, versatile, and truly collaborative. They offer great value for the originality, quality, and service they provide. Their turnaround time is unbeatable. Bottom line: their work gets more attention—and more sales—for my books!

I've been working with The Book Designers for over three years. I run a hybrid publishing imprint, work with a lot of individual authors across genres, and do white label publishing work for other publishers. The Book Designers leveled up our cover design offerings significantly, and their covers actively sell books for my clients. Every interaction I've had with Alan and Ian has been incredibly professional. They have been consistently kind, patient, and communicative without fail. 99% of the time their first round of covers is so good we end up taking one as-is (we actually frequently have trouble choosing a favorite), but on the occasion we come back to them with feedback, they've always thoughtfully implemented it. I was at a huge book festival this weekend, and I watched readers reach for books with covers by the Book Designers over and over again. I highly recommend them to publishers and individual authors alike.

As the former Art Director of a small independent publisher, I had the pleasure of working with theBookDesigners for over a decade. I highly recommend them to any publisher, company, or independent author seeking a skilled and reliable design team. They were consistently professional—easy to communicate with, open to ideas, and quick to deliver thoughtful revisions. Each project was approached with fresh, creative insight, and they always provided multiple strong concepts right out of the gate. They quickly grasped each book’s vision and delivered designs that matched the tone and personality of the author and genre. What truly stood out was their rare combination of strong design and impeccable production skills. Their files were always press-ready, and their technical precision ensured a smooth process from concept to print. Whether working on tight deadlines or complex projects, they responded with grace, clear communication, and smart problem-solving. Their typography, color choices, and stylistic range consistently elevated our titles. I’m grateful for the years we worked together and would not hesitate to recommend theBookDesigners for any design project. — Tracy Cunningham Former Art Director, New World Library

I can’t say enough good things about working with this team on my book cover! They did an excellent job from start to finish. They were professional, extremely creative, and so easy to work with. They made multiple adjustments without hesitation, always responded quickly, and were open to every piece of feedback I provided. Their responsiveness and attention to detail made the entire process smooth, quick, and stress-free. I’m beyond happy with the final result!
