book cover portfolios

I work in Fantasy and Science Fiction, so because these genres and their sub-genres have such different looks, I've created individual genre-specific portfolios for you to look at. This will help you know whether I'm the right designer for you, as you'll be able to see covers that work in your genre, without distractions from covers in unrelated ones.

To access the genre portfolio you wan to see, simply click on the name of the genre.

I create covers for the following genres:

Dark Fantasy
Paranormal Romance (PNR)
Urban Fantasy
Other fantasy sub genres including Epic Fantasy, Sword & Sorcery, and YA Fantasy

I don't do Horror, Cozies, Thrillers, Mystery, Contemporary or Historical Romance.

However, I also do fantasy character cards, for use at conferences, merchandise and the like.

TESTIMONIALS

Karen was a pleasure to work with and delivered a cover that was even better than I’d imagined. I will definitely work with her again and strongly recommend her to other authors!
Kevin McLaughlin (USA Today Bestselling Author)
Karen was the absolute best! Super responsive and fast, I highly recommend Arcane Covers. I've gotten a ton of compliments on their work and I'm proud to say where I got it. Give them a shot!
Jason J Nugent (USA Today Bestselling Author)
I fell in love with one of Karen's premade covers during an event and loved it so much, we made it into an epic trilogy, one I'm excited to release. Karen is so easy to talk to and very talented. She'll make your amazing story the cover it deserves.
Harper A Brooks (USA Today Bestselling Author)
Karen was a joy to work with. Quick to respond to questions and changes and open to suggestions. Will use again.
Troy Osgood
Amazing artist! Working with Karen has been just a pleasure. Seeing the professionalism and the care she puts into her work is fantastic to see. She has a question and she messages me right away. Communication with her is the way it should be between a client and the artist. She has listened to me change things multiple times and has not batted an eye but has gone ahead and made the changes and sometimes suggesting things that even I wouldn't have thought of. I would work with Karen in the future again without any concern that my imagination would be throttled on her own work. I cannot wait to work with her on my next project.

Working on my cover with Karen was amazing. She knows the genre expectations and kept me on track. This is my book's second cover, and it's doing markedly better. My Amazon ranking has improved significantly. Turns out, you can judge a book by its cover.
Drake O'Keef
Karen is a consummate professional who has gone above and beyond to produce the quality work my readers demand. I can give her my concept, a description for what I'm looking for and trust her to given me artwork that is stunning and creative. I would highly recomend her for your Book cover needs.

Hi! My name is Karen Dimmick.

I've loved fantasy and magic for as long as I can remember & have been in the publishing industry for nearly a decade.

I know how important is it for a book to look its best, and for potential readers to be able to tell at a glance it's a book they'll enjoy. Without that, even great stories go unread.

As you'll see from my testimonials, my clients love working with me because I'm easy to work with, communicate well and deliver on time, like you'd expect any professional to do.

Born in England, I now live in Florida, USA with my husband. I've traveled the world, living in Europe and Asia. I've had my own bestselling non-fiction book, as well as fiction books, so I've seen both sides of the cover design process.

I believe authors should be able to give their books every possible chance to succeed, with a cover that attracts readers and meets the reader's expectations for the genre.

That's why I created Arcane Covers - to help you make your book shine.
