Who
We Are
Every book we design is important to us.
We are a custom design firm. Our portfolio includes New York Times best-sellers, Pulitzer prize winners, and National Book Award winners, as well as successful self-published titles and small press editions.
Regardless of the print run, we work with every author to create the best visual representation of their work that is unique, marketable, and salable. Good, considered cover design enhances any publication, whether it is read by a hundred readers or hundreds of thousands of readers.
Something you’ve spent months, maybe even years writing, deserves a well thought out and professional cover design.

At ACD Book Cover Design We Know You Do Judge a Book by its Cover
First impressions count. Every book is judged by its cover—whether it is a printed book or e-book—covers matter.
Our experience working with national sales forces, marketers, sales reps, wholesalers and chain store buyers to create visuals that will sell, comes together to create a printed book cover or e-book cover design that will represent your book with the best possible design.
