James - Hope it's OK to contact you via this page. I'm looking for someone to assist with a book cover and Michael thought you might have promising contacts. If so, could you please pass them along? I would be infernally grateful. Brian

Hello Brian.
No promising contacts I'm afraid. The best cover designers are expensive, and I can't afford them. I tried using Fivver for a while but found I could do better than most of them anyway.
What I do now is to find and buy a relevant stock image and modify it with a simple photo editor. Its what Fivver does, but they don't really understand what I'm looking for.
A half-decent cover isn't difficult if you keep to the basic rules. Just look at the best-seller covers in your genre and do something similar.
If I can be of more help, just let me know.
Good luck, James.
