Laudations
“🔥💥🔥💥” —Chuck D of Public Enemy, author of In The Hour of Chaos
“The cover was stunning and has helped my book get some traction. I do believe it was what caught the attention of a producer on the Jonathan Van Ness podcast, who invited me to speak there about my book. This extended the reach of my work immensely.”
—Charlotte Karem Albrecht, author of Possible Histories
“We’ve all been flipping out as we’ve flipped through the beautiful pages. I’ve been dancing around the office celebrating and putting it in everyone’s face.”
—happy client
“Words simply cannot describe how beautiful this cover is.”
—Nicholas Baer, author of Historical Turns
“The most beautiful cover.”
—William Darity, editor of The Black Reparations Project
“I have died and gone to heaven. It’s perfect. This is how my book has always looked in my brain but I didn’t have the ability to explain it.”
—Ysabel Gerrard, author of The Kids are Online
“I am generally picky about designs, but this is a home run and I have no criticisms.”
—Adam Rovner, author of The Jew Who Would Be King
“The designer did a remarkable job of incorperating my (not particularly easy) ideas.”
—Michael Dylan Foster, author of The Book of Yōkai
“I fucking love these covers.” —esteemed book editor
“Is there anything I can do about the packaging at the time of delivery?! Even though it was a nearly 400-page hardcover book, it arrived in a seriously thin cardboard envelope that was completely damaged. I kept silent saying I could cry and fall asleep, but I couldn’t help but say something when I learned that the cover design by Kevin Barrett Kane had also been ripped!”
—translation (from Japanese) of a negative review for Directed by Yasujiro Ozu
“The author shared her cover in LinkedIn recently and it’s garnering rave reviews from the potential audience.”
—happy editor
“I really think this is one of the best covers I’ve seen, not that I’m biased.”
—Kevin O’Neill, author of Unforgivable
“The cover is fantastic. I have gotten emails about that only—colleagues asking me how I managed to get such a beautiful cover. You might get new authors just because of the potential of a nicely designed cover.”
—author, in a note to the publisher
“I am floored. The back cover is just as striking as the front, and the integrity between the two is seamless and impressive. I could not have asked for more.”
—Emirah Yildiz, author of Zainab’s Traffic
“We much preferred your original design to any of those influenced by the author’s suggestions.”
—unhappy marketing team
