Tree Abraham

Art Director, Book Cover Designer

Tree Abraham is an Ottawa-born, Brooklyn-based writer, art director, and book cover designer. Early on in her career, Tree studied graphic design in the UK and interned with various publishers in London. She later moved to New York City where she’s lived and worked ever since, including time spent working for Abrams, Bloomsbury, and Grand Central Publishing. She is now an Art Director for Amazon Publishing.

You can listen to Tree’s conversation with Steve Leard on his podcast, Cover Meeting, here.

Tree Abraham is also the author of (and book cover designer for) Cyclettes (2022), pictured below. You can read about Tree’s experience of designing the cover of her book in this detailed interview she gave with Spine Magazine, here. She explains:

“Cyclettes began as a list of every bicycle Tree has ever known–from her first childhood bike to the second-hand purchases and loaners that have propelled her into adulthood and around the world. It grew to include other forms of both literal and conceptual cycling, spanning histories and cultures, all encircled by brief memories and observations from an author compelled to move. Tree Abraham documents a meaningful life only discovered and sustained through a two-wheeled lifestyle–one that speaks to those who find home in wanderlust.”

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.
