Cover designers for children's books

[sbb]

Hi guys,

Can anyone recommend a reliable and creative but affordable cover designer for children's books (in the 9-12 age group category)? There are so many designers out there that I don't know where to start. Also, the prices seem to vary wildly. What's the ballpark figure for a Createspace book cover these days, in your opinion?

Thanks. All advice is appreciated.

Hi, sbb, and if I haven't said welcome before, welcome!

My cover designer, Katie Stewart may be able to help. I know she's done covers (and illustrations) for children's books, including one written by herself. I can thoroughly recommend her.

You can find her in the Author Services section of this website, or check her own: Magic Owl Designs - www.magicowldesign.com/index.html

She's very approachable, so I suggest you get in contact.

Good luck.

Do you like Becca's covers? I could ask her who she uses and hw much she pays.

Hi Shirley and welcome back! I think I paid around $200 for a cover that included e-book and creatspace front and back.
