Success Stories from Our Clients

Jessica had TOO many great options

“I found my incredible designer through INABC.com and I couldn’t be happier. She responded to my brief with her examples and, immediately, I was blown away by the quality of her work.

Once we started working together, she provided so many amazing options for my cover that it was hard for me to choose a direction since they were all so amazing. The cover we landed on matches the themes and details of my story so perfectly. Luísa made my dream cover a reality.”

Small press success!

“I absolutely loved using I Need A Book Cover! The brief form was detailed and easy to fill out, and within two days, I’d received responses from a range of talented designers. The whole process was seamless. I ended up working with a fantastic designer who completely understood my vision and created the book cover I had been dreaming of. Highly recommend!”

Nikki received 16 bids!

When it came to publishing my debut novel, having a high-quality cover was the top priority. It was incredibly important to me as someone with an interest in graphic design. INABC truly delivered on that front. I am grateful for the access to a talented pool of designers. Posting on the Jobs Board made it easy for me to choose among designers and visions for the book. My book was a challenge because it is about space but I didn’t want it to convey hard science fiction, rather something more literary. Zoe was attentive throughout the process and I’m so glad to have a beautiful cover.

Kara’s book sold thanks to the cover!

My debut novel has sold well and bookstores have told me it is because of the beautiful cover, which perfectly captures the vibe of my lakeside contemporary romance, Another Summer.

Readers at book signings tell me they saw the book and remembered it by the cover. This is all thanks to INABC. The easy-to-follow template for a creative brief led me to my book’s dream cover artist. Nicolette created several versions of the cover that we narrowed down and tweaked until we arrived at the final cover.

I paid extra for the concierge service, and it was well worth it. With it, I received help editing my brief so it better described my ideal look and, in the end, INABC helped me select the right cover artist for Another Summer. A fantastic experience I recommend again and again.

“Well worth the investment”

“This was my first book, and the self-publishing process felt overwhelming. I knew I wanted a high-quality cover but had no idea where to begin—and by that stage of the project, decision fatigue had set in. Thankfully, a client introduced me to INABC, and it was exactly what I needed. The beautiful covers on the website caught my attention right away, and Zoe’s guidance in crafting a creative brief gave me clarity about my vision. Her practical tips for evaluating designers, along with the extra hands-on support, made the selection process much easier. It was well worth the investment.

Working with my designer, Beth, was a joy. She was intuitive, responsive to feedback, and captured my vision perfectly. The multiple cover mock-ups she presented were stunning and after such a positive experience, I confidently asked her to design the interior as well. Beyond her artistic talent, Beth’s project management skills kept everything on track.

I’m deeply grateful to both Beth and Zoe for helping transform this book from an idea into reality.”

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.”
  • Regularly and consistently work on multiple book cover projects each month. Over years of designing at this pace, they’ve built portfolios showcasing a substantial body of published work (at least 16 covers for review).
  • 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.

Designer Disclaimer

INABC is not a full-service design agency. It’s a curated directory designed to help visitors identify the designers behind some pretty amazing book covers.

If you reach out to a talented designer from this site, INABC does not take responsibility for the professional interactions that may follow. Each designer in our directory sets their own proposals and contracts. We encourage you to review a designer’s portfolio carefully to make sure they’re a good fit for your project and to communicate your expectations clearly with your chosen designer. Designers and clients are expected to draft, negotiate, and sign their own contracts to ensure that expectations, deliverables, and rights are clearly outlined before any work begins.

While we do our best to curate a talented community, INABC is not involved in the collaborations that follow, and, therefore, we cannot guarantee the outcome of individual projects with specific designers. If you run into an issue with a designer that you find from using INABC, we are open to learning about your experience, but ultimately, INABC will not be involved in any specific disputes. For more information, visit the For Authors page and read our Terms & Conditions.
