I'm an author, looking for an illustrator to design the book covers for my trilogy releasing later this year. I have designs I've made myself with Canva that I'd just like an artist to redo professionally. If you're interested, please let me know what your prices are! I'd ideally like them (all 3) finished by August. Also, if you're someone who can draw assets I can use for marketing and promo, that's a bonus I'll happily pay for! Same goes for concept sketch images to show the process, I know readers find that super interesting.

I'll DM you the design criteria and concept if you're interested. It's important to me that it's drawn/illustration work, not photo manipulation, AI, or stock photos. I have an artist from Argentina I found that I really like, but before moving forward there I just wanted to check the local talent. It's a romance series, but there'll be no characters on the cover.

Please let me know if this is something you'd be interested in!

The second book in my fiction series is set in Cary, and I'm looking for some local advice of where a person could hypothetically host a state fair (open, flat grounds, parking nearby, not in the middle of nowhere). This would be in May, so not the annual state fair at the NC fairgrounds in October. It doesn't need to be huge, just a cozy setting for a ferris wheel and some carnival games. Thanks!

I understand they both primarily deal with stock photo manipulation for a standard fee, but both websites offer illustrative work from scratch as well and just alude to it being an upcharge. It's promised that you'll have the exact quote beforehand, which is fine, but I'm just wondering if anyone here has taken the illustration route with them. What was the upcharge, and how did it come out? I'd love to see pics!

Tagline: Fortune favors the broken.

Eden Sinclair is barely keeping it together, and she's tired of pretending otherwise. She's spent years outrunning her past, but the cracks are getting harder to ignore.

Nathan Ward is a surveillance agent whose only two priorities are catching the nation's most notorious, and making sure his mother's doesn't have to eat dinner alone.

When a premature click puts Eden in Nathan's path, it feels nothing short of fate. He couldn't save his sister, but maybe she's the redemption he's been searching for. He can help her in ways no one else can, as long as no one notices how invested he's becoming.

After a brush with death lands her in group therapy, things finally start looking up. Brunches with Paige feel lighter, and even the neighbor's cat, Fritter, seems to like her more. With a renewed appreciation for life and oddly good luck, Eden has time to think about her future--and her abysmal love life. But the new guy at this week's meeting could change that...

I'm an author and looking for a courier service to send book merch boxes to international readers. Each box will weight less than 1kg, and the dimensions are 25x15x6cm fully boxed. The quote I got from DHL for a single package was R2400 which is obviously a non-starter when the parcel itself is R400 in value.
