Anna Morrison

Art Director, Designer and Illustrator

Anna Morrison is a UK-based freelance art director, book cover designer, and illustrator. She works mainly in publishing, designing book covers for a variety of clients in the UK and internationally.

Read this Q&A between Anna and PRINT Mag to get to know her and her practice a little better. When asked why she likes her job, Anna said, “I feel ever so grateful to have found this job. It combines all the things I love. I cannot imagine doing anything else. To be asked to interpret someone’s stories and ideas is a huge privilege, and it carries a huge responsibility to the author.”

To hear her discuss how the UK cover for Natasha Lunn’s Conversations on Love came about, read this article from Penguin Books. In 2022, Anna provided illustrations for a Faber & Faber product launch. You can read about that project here.

Designer Requirements

Only a carefully curated group of designers are given access to the creative briefs posted on the INABC Jobs Board. This system ensures that clients receive top-notch, focused proposals from professionals whose talents have been vetted

All designers who will be bidding on your cover design have applied to receive job notifications and have been approved by the INABC admin team. Our approved designers:

  • Are professional book cover designers, not simply generalist graphic designers.
  • Have been working in the industry for a minimum of 3 years, usually more.
  • Must demonstrate a contemporary aesthetic, creating work that feels current and relevant to today’s book design market. We seek professionals who stay informed on industry trends while pushing boundaries with innovative, forward-thinking designs. Our designers know that our clients are not looking for designs that feel “dated.”
  • Work on multiple book cover projects in any given month
  • Are committed to delivering high-quality, original designs tailored to each client’s unique vision. 
  • Do NOT sell or offer book cover premades. At INABC, we do not condone the offering of pre-made book covers. We are fans of highly bespoke cover work.
  • Do NOT use AI-generated imagery in their commercial work.
  • Have accessible online portfolios showcasing book cover work that are easy for anyone to review.
  • Have extensive experience working with self-publishing authors AND commercial presses.
  • Are available and excited to receive these weekly briefs.

If you are contacted by a designer that doesn’t align with the requirements described above, we ask that you please contact the INABC admin team at ineedabookcover.assistant@gmail.com.
