Professional book cover for a novel: ebook front cover plus paperback wrap

I’m looking for an experienced book cover designer for my novel, The Gates of Heaven and Hell, by Geraldine LaVallee.

About the book: Upmarket/book-club fiction with sharp humor and a financial mystery at its heart. A retired forensic accountant in her seventies lives in a gated Arizona retirement community that calls itself “paradise.” When her neighbors die broke, she starts reading the fine print and uncovers a decades-old scheme to control the desert’s water. Please note: despite the title, this is NOT horror, religious or fantasy fiction.

Look and mood: The Sonoran Desert, with saguaros, mountains glowing pink at sunset and warm desert light. I’d like something beautiful on the surface with a hint of irony underneath. One idea is an ornamental gated-community entrance set against the desert. Elegant, smart and a little wry, not dark. The audience is mainly women readers aged 50 and up.

What I need:

Ebook front cover

Full paperback wrap (front, spine, back) at 6 × 9 inches for Amazon KDP, with space for a back-cover blurb and barcode. The spine width will be finalized once the interior is typeset, at roughly 350–420 pages.

Print-ready files (300 dpi, CMYK, with bleed) and high-resolution JPGs

Source files

At least 3 revisions

Requirements:

Commercial license for all images and fonts

No AI-generated artwork. I want licensed stock photography or original illustration.

Please include samples of book covers you’ve designed for women’s, literary or book-club fiction, along with your price and timeline.
