Despite how good the plot you write after extensive research work and months of sleepless nights, it’s the book cover creator who will do the final magic.

Here are some ideas to find the best book cover creator—

Freelance platforms
However, you have the option to hire a freelancer working independently from any online job portal or a reference of a close friend. Opt for Fiverr, Amazon, Goodreads, freelancer, etc. sites to connect with some hardworking and talented designers with hands-on experience in creating book cover designs for quite a few bestselling books.
Revise portfolios
Take a close look at the portfolios of the shortlisted artists and watch carefully whether their style of cover design matches the aesthetics of your book. It will be the first test and a viable one before finalizing any professional for a job.
