I love the concept of paranormal women’s fiction! Women getting magic or psychic gifts at 40+. I think it’s a really interesting concept and one that fills a great gap for women who want to feel themselves in a story.

I design book covers for fiction authors that write Fantasy and Paranormal stories, including all the various sub-genres.

I work with Paranormal Women’s Fiction, Urban Fantasy, Dark Fantasy, Paranormal Romance, Fantasy Romance, YA Fantasy, High and Epic Fantasy books, with both character art and typography / symbol based covers. I work with both indie / self-published authors as well as one traditional publishing house.

If you’re looking for custom or premade book covers designed for your fantasy / PNR book or series, or if you want to find out more about me and Arcane Covers, visit my website at the link below.

This was a couple of days worth of work, all condensed down to a few seconds

I loved the idea of doing a cover for a snow white retelling and setting it in an urban environment. Retelling are getting bigger at the moment so this seemed like a good time to offer a premade for one of the more popular storylines.

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.
