Design book covers that sell. Work across every genre — romance, thriller, literary fiction, historical, children's, non-fiction — for authors publishing worldwide.
A cover is not decoration. It is the single hardest-working marketing asset a book has, and it gets about two seconds to stop someone scrolling Amazon on their phone. If it fails at 100 pixels wide, nothing else about the book gets a chance.
HMD Publishing has taken more than 10,000 books to market for authors in 47 countries. Our cover work spans every genre you can name: romance composites, double-exposure literary fiction, historical full wraps, stark minimalist non-fiction, children's illustration. You can see eight recent covers further down this page — that is the standard, and it is what we will be discussing in your interview.
You will own covers end to end. Brief, concept, composite, typography, full wrap with spine and back, print-ready files to KDP and IngramSpark specification, and 3D mockups for the author's launch. You will speak to authors directly, which means turning "I want it to feel like a summer in the south of France" into something that actually does.
This role is fully remote and open worldwide. You choose your hours; we ask for a few hours of overlap with the team and for you to be genuinely reachable when a launch is running.
To apply, send your CV and — this is the part that matters — a portfolio of published book covers. Not concepts, not mockups from a course. Covers that shipped.
