I’ve put together this list of some of the people I’ve worked with directly, heard about, or discovered online. I believe I’ve vetted this list to make sure the quality of samples was up to par, but make sure to do some research and ask for samples. Prices vary.
Also, if you know someone else who provides excellent service and quality, please recommend them so they can be added to this list.
Book Cover Designers
If I’m too busy for work, here are some other designers whose work I like.
Damonza – One of the best cover designers out there
BookFly Design – One of my favorites, amazing design
Design for Writers – Excellent, high quality covers
Deranged Doctor Design – Cheaper, pretty great, really good deals for extra marketing graphics.
Nathália Suellen – Incredible artwork and designs
YoclaDesigns – Really nice and undervalued, she’ll have to raise her prices soon.
Rebecca Frank – Very pretty, glowing designs for magical/paranormal books.
Scarlett Rugers – Very clean and stylish designs
Mars Dorian – unique, bold illustration
99.designs (I know some excellent designers who bid on work here, you can get a full cover for about $300.)

Book Indexing Services
John Babb is an expert at indexing, which can be really time consuming – he’s agreed to offer the service for $5 per page, which I think is a good deal. You can reach him at: info@phoenixleadershipprogramme.org
I also find some great quality on Elance, you might want to set up a project and see who bids.
