Description
Experience Level: Expert
Hello
I'm looking for an experienced book cover designer to create a professional cover for my adult contemporary fantasy novel, The Fantastical Overlook Bakery.
I am also a printmaker and have created a collection of original linocut prints specifically for the cover. I do not need an illustrator to create new artwork. Furthermore, I want the finished cover to use my own linocut artwork.
I have created a rough mock-up showing the general concept and composition I have in mind (using canvas as it was the best I could do), which I will attach. I can also provide high-resolution scans of the individual linocut prints for the designer to work with.
Looking for someone who can take these elements and develop them into a polished, professional book cover, particularly through strong composition, typography and colour treatment while retaining the handmade character of the original prints.
The current intended paperback trim size is 5.5 × 8.5 inches. Ultimately, I will require a full paperback wrap (front, spine and back) prepared to the correct specifications for Ingram Spark. The final spine width will be supplied once the interior page count is confirmed.
I would like my original linocut artwork to remain the basis of the cover, but I am open to some elements being professionally refined or touched up where needed. In particular, some of the human figures may benefit from additional refinement. I am happy to discuss this with the designer, provided the finished artwork retains the handmade linocut character and remains recognisably based on my original work.
Please include examples of previous book-cover work, particularly projects where you have worked with artwork or illustrations supplied by the author/client.
At this time researching and gathering quotes, intending to commission a designer around November 2026. The final full-wrap dimensions will follow once my interior page count has been confirmed.

What’s the most important part of your original linocut artwork that you want the finished cover to preserve the handmade character, the composition, or the overall mood of the story?
