As a new author I was lost once I'd had my book edited, and luckily came across Bespoke Author and couldn't recommend them highly enough. Peter and Caroline are incredibly knowledgeable, and their help with any queries about publishing has been invaluable. I have now written five books with their help and Peter designed each book cover, listening to my ideas and making as many changes to the covers as I needed until I was 100% happy. They formatted my books which looked so professional I couldn't believe they were mine. They also assisted with uploading to Amazon. I would recommend Bespoke Author to any new author.

Bespoke Author is my go-to design company for book covers. They have done an excellent job on all three of my books so far, and are incredibly helpful, patient, and professional. Highly recommended.

I just wanted to say a huge, huge thank you to Peter and Caroline from Bespoke Author. They have been absolutely amazing. I wrote a book, "Not Just A Dog" and I thought I'd done the hard part, actually getting my book finished. I really wanted to self-publish but was completely overwhelmed with how to even go about it. I'm so untechnical I didn't have a clue what to do at all and how to get my book from my laptop and turn it into a paperback and ebook. So I searched on Google for people that might be able to do cover designs. And then I still had the problem of the interior. I didn't even know how to format that, how to actually put it onto Amazon or onto any of the publishing places that book sellers could get it from. And then, by chance, I came across Bespoke Author. I read the reviews, watched the videos, and I thought, I really love the sound of these people. So I got in touch. They sounded human. And they were, right from the word go, completely human. For somebody like me, who felt that I'd written the book and that was as far as I could go with it, if it hadn't been for them, my book would still be on my laptop. I'm also an "options" girl and luckily it's true that you can make unlimited changes. I thank God for that because I'm amazed they didn't lose patience with me. Peter, making the cover and Caroline doing the interior formatting, were so patient, just so kind and so human. They both gave great advice as well. It was like having friends alongside you, but friends who know all about publishing a book. My book is called "Not Just A Dog" , to help people who are grieving when their dog dies. Actually, I should say "our book" because our dog Poppy was the inspiration behind it. Beforehand, I had no idea really what it was going to look like and now, holding it in my hands, I still can't actually believe that I've written a book and it's out there and it's selling and will be in Waterstones in our local town when they do a display for Grief Awareness Month. The thought that my book is going to be in a bookshop, is just incredible. And I don't think, without such a fantastic cover, and without the amazing help with formatting, it would be taken so seriously, and I wouldn't be having the lovely reviews that I'm having. I'm sure that people are finding it on Amazon because of the cover, and Peter was right, it needed to stand out. So, if you're in any doubt about who to ask for help with getting a book that you're self-publishing out there, I one hundred percent recommend Peter and Caroline. They have been amazing from the beginning. And they're still checking up now on how we're doing. So thank you to both of them so, so much and best of luck to anybody out there who's written a book. Ask them to help you. I promise you won't regret it.

I've been working with Peter and Caroline from Bespoke Book Covers for several years now, and their covers are simply exquisite! What I love about working with them is they really listen to my suggestions and feedback. Before I know it, out comes a cover that perfectly suits and showcases my book. I'm happy and proud to be a Bespoke Author!

Peter and Caroline, the team behind Bespoke Author, are intelligent, professional, and responsive. They were recommended by a colleague, and I couldn't be happier. Firstly, they were prompt. Every step was completed with flawless expertise and on time. Always. I sent Peter a photo of a cover I liked and tried to clarify how mine (easier to envision than explain!) differed. The front and back covers arrived (in several formats) on time, but differed in small ways from what I'd envisioned. I returned it with clarification, that Peter interpreted as if we'd worked together for decades. He 'got' what I wanted and returned what, for me, was the perfect cover. We discussed font, an issue on which we had differences, initially, and when he provided examples with his font suggestion and mine, it became clear who the professional designer was! His font was SO MUCH better. Apparently, many cover designers will not tweak their original interpretation without a change fee, but this was not the case with Peter, who seemed honestly concerned to accurately represent my vision. When it came to formatting the text, Caroline did a perfect job (also providing it in several popular formats so that the varying requirements of publishers would be met). Naturally, I found editing errors as I read through the text, and she corrected these in short order. In the past few years, there have been other tweaks I've asked her to make, and she's made them flawlessly and according to the agreed-upon timeline and with minimal and very fair charges. Two years after (self) publication (An American in Pandemic Paris), she's adding a QR code to the front matter that directs reader to the chapter illustrations on my Instagram profile. My book gets better each time it leaves the capable hands of Peter and Caroline. I'm eager to finish my next book so I can work with this delightful team again!

I have been working with Bespoke Author since I began publishing books in 2021 and they have always been very helpful and easy to work with. The website is concise and easy to understand. I especially liked the comparison page showing the bullet points of differences between other companies and the services Bespoke Author provides. As a writer that has used other self-publishing companies in the past, I can say with complete confidence that Bespoke Author is nothing like those other companies. They are fair, honest, and always do their best to ensure your work is done in a timely manner. I highly recommend Bespoke Author to any author seeking help to publish their books!

I absolutely LOVE working with Bespoke Author (Peter and Caroline). I have published 10 books, all of them with beautiful covers from this delightful duo. They are very easy to work with and allow collaboration to get the perfect cover for your book without adding additional fees. My fans are always blown away by these covers and some of my friends in the art world are always extremely impressed by the quality of Bespoke Author's covers. If you are ready to publish a book, do yourself a favor and hire Bespoke Author--you will NOT regret it.

Hi, everyone. My name is Cynthia Davis. I live in Hickory, North Carolina. I found Bespoke Author through a dear friend who is my writing mentor. He had used Peter and Caroline for his cover art when he did his novel. I contacted Peter. He agreed to help me, and one thing led to another. Now I have great cover art. I have a great book. I've made great friends. Peter and Caroline are the best. They support everyone from start to finish. From the novice writers, such as myself, to those that are very experienced. And let me tell you, the cover art pops off the page. It's just incredible. That's the first thing people comment on, is who did the artwork. And I have the pleasure of telling them that Peter and Caroline worked on the artwork. And the formatting for e book and paper book. And thanks to their support and encouragement for this budding writer, I'm doing extremely well with my very first collection of short stories. I want to show you the book. The book is called Catfish Corner. It's really lovely. And he did a poster for me, which you might be interested in, that I've taken to a number of book signings that's done exceptionally well. If you're looking for a professional work, if you're looking for great value, for exceptional product, then you need to look at what Bespoke Author, Peter and Caroline O'Connor, can do for you. I feel privileged to have worked with them and very privileged to now consider them friends. So everyone take good care and please use Peter and Caroline for your work because they're phenomenal. Bye now.

I recently had a book published by Bespoke Author. I was very impressed by the cover design which included a painting of mine that Peter arranged in such an effective way.The formatting of the interior of the book by Caroline was excellent. Both peter and Caroline are very efficient professionals.

Amazing service and great results! I have used BespokeBookCovers.com now on three different occasions and I couldn't have asked for better covers and support. Peter was always incredibly accommodating when it came to tweaking designs at any stage of the process and offering advice. If you are looking for excellent, professional, bespoke book covers that come with a very personal and friendly service, look no further.

Peter is a true pro at what he does. I had a challenging cover to make for a self-published horror novel with several unique requirements. Peter and Caroline at BespokeBookCovers were easy to deal with and the cover design process was simple and straightforward. They delivered the cover my book needed after just a few simple revisions (revisions are free!). The front cover Peter designed visually communicated exactly what my novel was about and the back cover packed in lots of text without looking cluttered. If you're a self-published writer, it can be tempting to try to do everything yourself, including the cover. But I could never have designed something of this quality. Peter is more than just a graphic artist. He knows the publishing process inside and out and designs his covers with these considerations in mind. Highly recommended!

I am the author of Dear Lottie. This beautiful book cover was designed by Peter and Caroline. When I was looking for a designer for Dear Lottie, I searched online for months and followed many designers on Instagram, but no one really stood out for me and I wasn't really keen on the designs and the styles I was seeing. What I loved about Bespoke straight away was they will revisit your design over and over again at no extra cost until you are a hundred percent satisfied with the cover. This told me that my book would be in good hands, and their passion for perfection was just as great as mine. Luckily for me, as soon as I saw my cover, I was blown away, straight away, and I've had so many wonderful comments from friends and family on how beautiful this is. Caroline and Peter listened to everything that I asked for from the colour to the detail of the couple on the front, and they were so brilliant and so quick. The turnaround was in two weeks, and the form to fill out was so simple that I will forevermore be working with Peter and Caroline at Bespoke, they are currently working on the cover of my second novel which is equally as stunning as the first. So if you are looking for a designer who's going to listen to your ideas, Turn your vision into reality and work to perfection who are friendly and responsive, then I 100% recommend them.
