:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/79/79846/attachment_79846987 "CH wanted an inspirational design about conquering adversity. She specifically wanted the swing to be a central item on the cover, as it was important to her story. Otherwise, she wanted a clean design that could be used for future books with slight modification for subject.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/78/78084/attachment_78084892 "Client wanted a moody, introspective cover for his contemporary romance novel. He also wanted the setting (San Francisco) to feature but not overwhelm the cover.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/76/76468/attachment_76468952 "CH was looking for a nonfiction design that would appeal to Christian women who may experience similar challenges as the author in serving others and the church, as well as a general audience of women readers.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/76/76405/attachment_76405768 "CH wanted a clean, modern design for the author's autobiography. The large space beneath the word happiness is for a sticker the publisher added after I submitted the files.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/78/78637/attachment_78637332 "CH wanted a cover for an inspirational memoir about her and her husband's trip hiking across Australia, even though a ski accident had left him paralyzed.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/66/66516/attachment_66516238 "Wanted to evoke the depth of experiences related to motherhood--happy, sad, wistful, full of promise.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/75/75399/attachment_75399207 "The CH wanted a simple design that would fit in with the author's previous (photograph based covers) and would look like a upmarket literary title, more than a strictly religious title. I had previously used this design and it had not been selected in the previous contest. I liked it a lot and wanted to give it a new spin in this contest.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/72/72701/attachment_72701338 "Client provided many beautiful images. I took the one that spoke most directly to the author's journey and made a bold design that would speak to the difficult journey Beutler embarked on (a journey across India in a wheelchair), without looking cheesy or self-help-y.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/75/75391/attachment_75391002 "The CH wanted a clean, modern design for this book about leadership. Central themes included balance, puzzle pieces, and a tuning fork. I went with the latter and tried to make a design that showed the noise and busy nature of the world, with the tuning fork \"waking up\" the more conscious person who listens for it.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/71/71073/attachment_71073537 "This was a fun cover. The CH wanted something in line with Carl Hiassen, who has a very distinct style. He wanted the cover to communicate that this was a mystery/crime thriller but also was funny and sardonic.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/73/73217/attachment_73217019 "I liked this cover, even though the client ended up asking for refund in the contest. The book was set in New Zealand and featured a female protagonist who has been framed for a crime and has to go on the run. I took my inspiration from covers for authors like Camilla Lackberg and other Scandinavian crime writers to create this moody, spooky")
Over
I am an editor and nonfiction writer living in South Carolina. I am the head book designer and art director of Hub City Press in Spartanburg, SC, where I design nationally distributed, award-winning titles.
My style is bold and current but often tinged with a mid-century aesthetic. I will not spam your contest with repeated entries in slightly different color schemes. I craft each of my covers to be unique, particular, and memorable. Save time + money with a 1-1 project! megireid.com

"Not only did we get a nice, cleanly designed book interior, the designer was patient with us as first-time authors and all of the final reviews and nits we asked her to handle on our behalf!"
