Sarah Penney Designs

Illustration and book cover design for stories at every stage and page.

Whatever your idea or genre, I work to create illustration and book cover design that suits your story! But the best examples of this can always be found in my current or recent covers. You can find my most recent works here and a sampling below. If you’d rather reach out to discuss, you can do so by contacting me here or emailing me at sarahpenneycreative@gmail.com.

FAQs

How long does a book cover take?

It depends on the style of the cover and how clear of an idea the author has for the cover. If you have an exact idea, anywhere between 3-5 weeks, depending on availability. If you have less of an idea, closer to 5-7 weeks, as we’ll have to work together to find a creative direction.

When are you currently booking for?

I’m currently booking commissions for December 2026 onwards!

What genres do you design covers for?

Fantasy, romance, science fiction, adventure, thriller, historical fiction, and many more! Even if you don’t see a certain genre represented in my examples, please feel free to reach out if you have questions. I’m always happy to provide further examples of past work, as well as to delve into a genre I haven’t as often.
