Over the past 7 years as a freelance book cover designer, I have specialized exclusively in non fiction publishing -- helping self-help, business, memoir, leadership, wellness, finance, psychology, parenting, spirituality and personal development authors worldwide build covers that compete on Amazon and beyond. To date I have completed 400+ custom book covers across ebook, paperback, hardcover and ACX audiobook formats. Every cover is built from scratch in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator -- no templates, no recycled layouts. I study each author's genre, target audience and competing titles before starting, so every cover is strategically positioned to attract the right readers and drive sales. My expertise covers the full publishing workflow. I format covers to exact KDP and IngramSpark specifications including correct bleed, margins, spine width calculations and resolution requirements. Every file I deliver is print-ready and guaranteed to upload without rejection errors. Deliverables include high-resolution PDF, JPEG and PNG files, editable source files in PSD, AI and EPS, 3D promotional mockups, and ACX audiobook covers at the required 2400x2400px specification. Throughout my freelance career I have worked with first-time authors navigating self-publishing for the first time as well as established authors relaunching existing titles with stronger, more market-competitive covers. My process is collaborative, my communication is clear and my turnaround is fast -- most projects are delivered within 24 to 72 hours depending on complexity. I have built a reputation for zero-headache delivery. Clients send their brief, I ask the right questions upfront, and I deliver a cover that needs minimal revision because the brief was understood correctly the first time.
