Nik was great to work with and makes the process easy right from the start. He’s always open to suggestions and takes onboard what you have to say during each stage of the design and comes up with great ideas. He communicates in a clear and concise manner so you always know where your project is at and what’s feasible. It was a pleasure to work with Nik and the end result was amazing!

As with my first noir crime novel “The Big Farewell”, Nik at Book Beaver worked with me to realise my concept for the cover of the sequel “Guilty City” and did so to perfection (a package of extra "mockup" images provided me with great material I can use to promote the book online). And in a remarkably short time and for a very competitive price. It makes me want to turn the books into a series just so I can collect the cover art!

I thoroughly recommend working with Book Beaver. Nik is an excellent designer who will hold your hand through the process and work with your feedback to develop a concept into a design, then a design into a final product. No detail is too small to tweak and no feedback too vague to spark another idea. Communication was quick, clear and personable and Nik worked to agreed timelines and often outperformed them. I was also impressed that the businesses website itself contained articles and guidance on the whole self-publication journey beyond just cover design. This was a useful resource. Thanks Nik & Book Beaver.

Nick is a great designer and really helpful. The entire process was simple from start to finish and I felt like all my ideas were listened to and taken on board to ensure that my book cover was designed in the best way. Great value for money and really responsive to messages. I would thoroughly recommend.

Nik at Book Beaver provided very fine service for my book cover. He incorporated a central element of the story into the cover image in a very nice way. His correspondence was always prompt and to the point, and he was attentive to my (artistically naive) ideas. I am happy with the end result of his work, and the advertising images that he provides are a nice touch.

Being the first time I am publishing a book - I was very nervous when starting the process on getting a cover done. I'll be honest I didn't really know what I wanted at first and gave the most minimal direction, but what Nik managed to create for me is beautiful and I have fell in love with my cover! Prompt & amazing service, I would highly recommend Book Beaver, and will definitely continue to use their service for the all of the next books in my series and beyond! Thanks again so much!

Working with Nik at Book Beaver was a fantastic experience. I have worked with print for years as the owner of Hardcastle Printing, a print, and marketing brokerage, now Hardcastle Solutions. My experience with the artist will lead to having more book covers designed for my clients and me. There is no doubt in my mind that the professionalism, quality, value, and responsiveness of this artists' business make it stand out from other firms. I did not choose a designer lightly; I went through several companies, designs firms, and individuals I have worked with for print services for my clients and myself but found Book Beaver to be a step ahead of everyone else. I highly recommend if you value artist integrity, hard work, design concept, and professionalism, USE BOOK BEAVER!!!

I can't recommend Book Beaver enough! Nik designed two book covers for me and I'm so happy with them, he listened to every point I made and covered even the slightest of details to make sure everything was as I wanted it, even if the covers took a while to complete. He helped to create the image I had just from a brief description and has given my books a professional identity and cover. The response time is also very good and the prices for the different packages are very fair and offer a lot within them. I'm so happy with the results and to any new author unsure of where to turn next, I'd happily pass on Book Beaver to give them and their work a boost by showing them what their book/s could be.

You shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but for those of you who do, it’s a good job we have Book Beaver! Absolutely fantastic in every way! Outstanding service, incredible and professional design work, you name it! Nik was amazing to work with. He always responded quickly and at a very generous cost. He has gone above and beyond with the cover-work on my book and I cannot thank him enough! I would highly recommend Book Beaver to design your book cover. Thank you for bringing the images inside my head to life! I look forward to working with you again in the future.

Collaborating with Nik at Book Beaver to create the cover for my first book was excellent. From my first contact with Nik, it was a smooth and easy process. I shared with Nik as few covers and styles that I liked, then some details on my story and together we decided on the best image for the cover. It took a little time to perfect but I am pleased with the outcome and appreciate how patient and professional Nik was during the whole process. Highly recommended, and hoping to work with Nik again on the cover for my second book.

This was my first novel and wanted something eye catching that fitted the style of my book and Nik nailed it from the very beginning. It was an absolutely joy working with Nik, it was easy and the whole process was collaborative, nothing was too much trouble. I looked forward to each new progress update which made everything seem real. Everyone who has seen the book comments on the cover so I know it was the best decision to go with Nik. I have already started my second novel and I have already started thinking of the cover so I can work with Nik again soon.

It was a great experience working with Nik. I had a rough idea what I wanted. Nik then found some possible images and we worked together to select the rights ones. He then wove it all together, added some appropriate fonts and a sprinkle of magic. The end result was better than I expected. It's very much a co-operative exercise so I didn't feel like I was losing control at any point. It just felt like a great team effort and a cracking result.Will definitely engage him again. Thoroughly recommended.

I was so apprehensive allowing someone else to take control of such a crucial part of my book and I had such mixed ideas I never thought it would be possible for anyone to really understand my vision. Nik nailed it! His first draft actually made me cry as it was so much more that I ever could have dreamed of. His patience, willingness to listen, keenness to always keep you in the loop and respond quickly made him and his company very pleasant to work with. Don't hesitate a moment longer, Nik is the man for the job. You won't be disappointed.

I was recommended Book Beaver by my son, who had also self published. I had an idea of what I wanted my cover to look like and it didn't take Nik long at all to run with it. He not only managed to design what I'd imagined but also suggested some other ideas which worked brilliantly. If I ever write another book, I would definitely use Book Beaver again. Thanks Nik

A. P.

Nik at Book Beaver was an absolute delight to work with. I had an image and idea how I wanted my cover to look like and he added expertise and know how with numerous of options how to make this collaboration a success and I was thrilled with the outcome. There was no limit as to how many changes I requested, Nik was truly taking everything on board, provided suggestions for improvements to the very end. Thank you again!

Nik was a pleasure to work with - his designs were exactly what I was looking for and his tweaks/suggestions were insightful and speedy! I'd definitely work with him again on another cover.

Book Beaver is a good designer, well able and willing to work with a client's requirements and not afraid to say when a client idea does not work! The charges are reasonable. I have worked with Book Beaver for three years now on several book cover and book interior design projects and plan to continue doing so in the future.

I've had a great relationship with Book Beaver since 2017. Nik has created the covers for five books for me and they all look great. On time, on cost with as many amendments as I have needed.

I've had a few bad experiences with book designers before. Book Beaver restored my faith! The design was exactly what I wanted and they just 'got' exactly wanted. It looks extremely professional and it does the story justice. Recommend.

As a first-time author, the thought of sourcing a designer who could create a cover which looked professional and gave my book the finishing touch it needed was daunting to say the least. My fears were quickly put to rest by the team’s quick response and attitude towards my work. I was kept in the loop regularly, and asked for my input on the project. I would thoroughly recommend any budding authors to use their service, as I believe they are second to none. As I begin work on my second novel, there’s no question where I will go for the cover art.

D. Q.

I'm no expert in designing anything, and I I won't ever claim to be a designer. But JJ of Book Beaver can. I gave him what I thought looked good thinking that he'd say no, and he turned out work that is way better than I have ever imagined. Do you ever get that feeling when you have looked at something that you have designed and after sometime you say 'Nah, don't like it' and then do whole revamp from the ground up? When I saw the cover, I didn't and I still love it.

M. H.

I wish I could give Nik and Book Beaver more than 5 stars! Nik has created three great covers for me so far, as well as helping me to format previous covers for two other books. In all aspects of our communication, Nik is fast, professional and efficient and his pricing is realistic and fair. His design for 'Footprints in the Snow' inspired me to think about using it to create a book series. I already have plans for future projects and I'll be going to Book Beaver every time. Thank you so much! (Maggie Holman)

Nik was responsive, listened to my needs, and really knows his stuff. After just a couple of rounds of feedback, he hit the nail on the head. I couldn't be happier with the results!

As someone with not much IT proficiency (I am 73) Nik at Book Beaver took endless pains to guide and explain things at each step of the way so that I have no hesitation in recommending the excellent service I received -- and the excellent book cover!

R. I.

Book Beaver responded quickly to my need for a design for a new book. It was easy to go back and forth on design until it was exactly as I wanted it. It was a good experience and I can highly recommend them. Ruth

Book Beaver have made my dreams come true! They have produced exactly what I was looking for which is incredible considering I didn't really know what that was! 🤓 Their patience with me was much appreciated and made me feel so at ease. They actively encouraged feedback on their drafts which is great and allowed me to feel comfortable when asking them to make changes. The whole process was an absolute pleasure and the end result is WELL Worth the money! Paul Jones, The Flaws of Running

Great information on copyrighting book and self-published works.

Whether you have a cover image in mind or need one designed from scratch, Book Beaver will work with you at all stages and never makes you feel rushed into a final decision.

M. M.

Great atmospheric design that really captured the mood of my novel. Speedy response. Would highly recommend.
