So.. I'm not a professional, but I am going to the school of applied arts and design, and I'm doing covers for novels and stories I write so I believe I can do it for you too.
I do it all by hand (maybe just a touch of photoshop or a picture I shot myself, but I don't use images from the internet and such), so it takes some more time. Also I write my own book(s), so if you're in a rush please don't come to me and make me do everything fast because in the end neither of us will end up happy.
Although the best way would be if I read the whole book/story, I don't often have much time (and English is not my 1st language so it goes a little slower, lol). So all you need to do is tell me this: The title - The author's name - The description/summary (more you write here, the more details your cover can have) - If there is anything you particullary want on it (colours, people, nature, abstract/realistic, objects, words maybe.. or perhaps the kind of feeling you want them to have when they look at it?) - The genre - Also, if you wish to add anything else you think is important, feel free to do so :)
This doesn't mean I will not read your work anyway - I probably will, but I can't promise anything. I can send the cover to you directly or post it here, make sure you mention which you prefere.. :) Also, I will put a watermark or such on every picture I create, and if you ever get to use my work as your official cover, you contact me and I'll remove it. I don't ask for any money (though I won't complain about some kind of payment either), but I do ask for you to list me as a cover artist, and I believe it to be quite a good deal. Also I can create illustrations, but I'm afraid I DO charge for those (because I can't do everything for free).. but I get the money issues and am sure we can negotiate about everything :)

I hope I'll get some replies...
