It’s pub day! 🙌 So happy to be sharing my cover design for Stay for a Spell by Amy Coombe @amy_coombe_author , which published for @harpervoyager_uk Huuuuge shoutout to @philippas_illustrations for the stunning illustrations. Her work is so full of magic and whimsy (just look at that full wrap), and she is such a dream to work with for any ad! ✨

Over the past year, I’ve been lucky enough to become much more involved with @thelockedlibrary , and as part of my role, had the pleasure of helping shape the art direction for the upcoming classics range, starting with Dracula (which was announced in Feb)! 🦇 I’m so excited to share this cover and working with @aizelkonart was an absolute dream - her work is so evocative and texturally rich and she did such an incredible job of capturing our vision for a more delicate, alluring and feminine Dracula cover. I’m very lucky to work with such an amazing group of people that make these editions so special! @behindthebooklore @fluerrr @vanessacoubrough @emileeche @mill.k99

It is always such a treat to work on a @stephcampisi book! Very excited to share the cover for 10 Things I Hate About Zombies which publishes for @avonbooksuk in September. @pigeon.princess injected so much life into this cover, and I couldn’t be happier with the illustration. Thank you for humouring my crazy ideas and being such a gem to work with ✌️

So proud to share the Forbidden wing ( @thelockedlibrary ) edition of Spellfire, and definitely one of the most magical editions I’ve had the pleasure to work on! The stunning jacket and endpaper illustrations were done by @toshiasan , and perhaps the coolest brief of last year…i got to design the crest for a magical school for the foiled case! ✨
