A
Unique Cover Art.

We’ve made memorable cover art for many of the most successful authors on the planet - and we’d like to do the same for you. We have an archive of tens of thousands of images to draw from, amazing photoshop skills, an understanding of what really makes cover art work - and now we’re utilising the endless possibilities of AI.

We’ll work with you to develop a compelling cover image that draws readers into your unique world of words.

Give us a brief, a synopsis, a character description, a key motif or moment in your story…. and we’ll do the rest. We’ll provide you with two unique and compelling images to choose from. Why buy ‘off-the-shelf’, when you can have bespoke from one of the best cover artists in the business?

What our clients say.

  • “Lee is an incredible artist. He delivered as promised and on time, and was extremely easy to communicate with. I have enjoyed working with him immensely and will come back to him for more images.”

    Sara Dasko,
    historical fiction author.

    Quote my project

  • “A picture is indeed worth 1000 words, so you'll want the perfect shot on the cover of your beloved book containing tens of thousands of thoughtfully crafted words. Lee’s photographs are works of art – era-specific, brilliantly staged, and beautifully colorized. Eye-catching and attention-holding, they reach through the screen to engage your future reader, equally stunning on a full, printed cover and a digital thumbnail. He’s willing and able to adjust elements to meet your specific needs and is an absolute pleasure to work with”

    Sandra Byrd,
    author of “To Die For: A Novel of Anne Boleyn”

    Quote my project

  • “Not only is Lee Avison’s art and photography stunning, he is a joy to collaborate with. While searching for imagery for my historical fiction novel, I came upon Lee’s artwork, which was the best I’d ever seen. I reached out, and after just a few email exchanges, I had a bespoke image that became my beautiful book cover. Lee’s catalogue is vast, and his communication smart, quick, and friendly. I highly recommend Lee Avison.

    Rebecca Jasmine,
    author of “The Copper King’s Daughter

    Quote my project

  • “I cannot recommend Lee Avison enough. The quality and beauty of his images are simply stunning and at affordable prices. He has terrific customer service, on one occasion, he did a photo shoot specifically to meet my needs, turning it around in just a few days. I have had a great reaction to my book covers and I am so glad I came across his site. Check it out.”

  • “phenomenal and efficient communication. Superspeed of developing the final product, and you understood what I wanted immediately! The quality of the cover is great and as I requested, an eye-catching cover that attracted the attention of the readers. Also, I will for sure ask you soon for other covers"

    Philip Batkoski,
    Bata Press

    Quote my project

  • “I believe a Lee Avison cover is the gold standard for Regency romances and will be for some time. You get the period details correct. The models are either genuinely attractive or can be cropped into utility. The exterior lighting is always artful, the staging is gratifyingly simple so type doesn't compete with a cluttered background. The composition hits the elegant but uncomplicated balance, and the production values are uncompromising. You may quote me. Raise your prices, dude.”
