Matt Windsor

Designer

Matt Windsor loves design and typography. It’s the reason why he’s an award-winning* freelance book designer.

With over 18 years’ experience in the book publishing industry, he has worked with clients of all sizes and budgets from international publishers to indie authors. Selected clients have included Bloomsbury, Thames and Hudson, Quarto, Summersdale, Scholastic, Royal Museums Greenwich, and The National Trust.

He provides services for both book cover design and book interior design. He also works on foreign language co-editions and even pop-up books. Laying out an M.C. Escher pop-up book in Japanese was probably his most mind-bending challenge to date.

Originally from the UK but now an honorary Canuck, living in Cape Breton, Canada. When he’s not designing books, he’s designing t-shirts, and perpetually feeding his grumpy cats.

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.
