Whether you're publishing fiction, non-fiction, or a graphic novel, your cover should reflect genre, tone, and audience expectations. Start by researching artists on platforms like Reedsy, 99designs, DeviantArt, and ArtStation. Look for portfolios with experience in your book's genre.

A strong cover can dramatically boost sales and reader interest, so treat it as a professional investment in your book's success.</span></span>
