Who am I to teach you this?
Hey, I’m Lara!
After publishing my first book which turned into thousands of dollars, I quit my full-time job and went all in with self-publishing. Around that time I was also making book covers for my fellow author buddies on Reddit.
I soon realised I was having more fun making covers than writing! So I dove full-time into creating a design business…
I’m now a self-taught cover designer of 8 years who’s served some of the best selling indie authors and publishers in the game. I’ve created over a thousand book covers for my clients who are all independent romance writers and small publishing houses from around the world.
Since then, I’ve started teaching authors like you the digital skills and techniques you need to help save yourself time and money, and even open you up to more money making opportunities like designing covers did for me!
